§ 36. Mr. Gowerasked the Secretary of State for War how many established employees and non-established employees, respectively, will be affected under the proposal to close the No. 2 Supply Reserve Depot, Barry, in October, 1963.
§ Mr. RamsdenThere are at present 214 established and 107 non-established employees serving at No. 2 Supply Reserve Depot, Barry but the numbers 1583 ultimately affected by the closure of the Depot in 1963 are likely to be fewer, since employees who leave will not be replaced
§ Mr. GowerIn this consideration will my hon. Friend take into account the fact that some of these men, particularly established personnel, have already lost their promotion opportunities through the prior closure three years ago of a technical sub-depot and the closure a year ago of boat stores belonging to his Department? Will he take account of those facts?
§ Mr. RamsdenYes. I understand that my hon. Friend is going to be good enough to bring a deputation to me in the near future to talk about Barry. Perhaps we can pursue this question and others on that occasion.
