HC Deb 22 July 1975 vol 896 c284
15. Mr. R. C. Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will pay a visit to defence establishments in the Southampton area.

Mr. Mason

I have no plans at present to do so.

Mr. Mitchell

When the Secretary of State next visits the Southampton area, will he visit Netley military hospital, which is due to close in the next couple of years, and do his best to reassure the civilian employees there that his Department will do everything possible to find them alternative employment?

Mr. Mason

When next I visit Southampton I shall try to fulfil my hon. Friend's wishes.
