§ Mr. GOLDMANasked what information, drawings, and dock plans are supplied to the foreign contractor supplying granite for Rosyth; and, if so, what steps are taken to prevent private information about the Admiralty docks from disclosure to foreigners?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe Admiralty have not supplied any information, drawings, or dock plans to the foreign contractor supplying the granite for Rosyth. He has to obtain all the information required from the contractor for the works, who in this case has supplied him with a rough key plan, showing where certain blocks or stones have to be placed, but no Admiralty drawings have been sent by the contractor for the works to the granite merchant.
§ Mr. GOLDMANDoes the right hon. Gentleman not consider this is an infringement of the whole policy of secrecy as far as the Admiralty is concerned?
§ Mr. McKENNAIf the hon. Member had listened to my reply he would have known that there has been no divulgence of any Admiralty plans or any secret matter.
