HC Deb 27 July 1949 vol 467 c137W
76. Commander Noble

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps he has taken as a result of recent discharged from His Majesty's Dockyard, Malta.

Mr. Rees-Williams

His Majesty's Government regret the necessity for these discharges, and every effort will be made to alleviate the situation by spreading them as fairly as possible over all dockyard activities in which Maltese are employed and more or less equally over the remaining weeks of the financial year.
