HC Deb 29 October 1957 vol 575 c19
38. Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the nature of his latest representations to the First Lord of the Admiralty regarding the future of the Torpedo Experimental Establishment at Greenock; and when he made them.

Mr. N. Macpherson

My right hon. Friend has been in close touch throughout with my noble Friend the First Lord of the Admiralty about this question and is satisfied that the First Lord is well aware of all the considerations involved.

Dr. Mabon

Will the Secretary of State continue to make the same vigorous representation as I am told he has in the past, in order that we may keep this establishment in Scotland?

Mr. Macpherson

My right hon. Friend, I am certain, will do all that he can at all times to keep the interests of Scotland to the fore.
