§ 3. Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has yet received the report of the investigation being carried out into the affairs of Bailey, Malta, Ltd.
§ Mr. SandysNo, Sir.
§ Mr. AwberyI thank the Minister for the brevity of his reply. Is he aware that it is over three years since Baileys took over this concern with a flourish of trumpets and that it was said that this would save the economic position in Malta? Nothing has been dome up to now. Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the transition from a naval dockyard to a commercial dockyard has yet started?
§ Mr. SandysI should like to await the report, which I hope to receive in the next few weeks.
