HC Deb 17 December 1952 vol 509 cc193-4W
9. Mr. Swingler

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what further consideration he has now given to the recommendations of the Select Committee on Estimates about the Royal Ordnance fac- tories; and whether he will now initiate, in conjunction with the Minister of Supply, an inter-Departmental inquiry into the size and character of the inspectorate.

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

My Department have been working on these recommendations since I replied to the hon. Member last week and, as I told him then, are in consultation with the Ministry of Supply on the reply to the Select Committee.
