§ 42. Mr. LOGANasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether an allocation of sub-contracts is to be given to Merseyside firms in connection with the building of aircraft-carrier His Majesty's Ship "Ark Royal"?
The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Lord Stanley)The allocation of sub-contracts is primarily a matter for the shipbuilders concerned, and I have no doubt that Messrs. Cammell, Laird and Company, Limited, will give due consideration to the claims of Merseyside firms.
§ Mr. LOGANWill the right hon. Gentleman communicate with Messrs. Cammell, Laird and see that such allocation does take place in regard to unemployment on the Merseyside?
