§ Mr. P. Wellsasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty how many civilian employees will become redundant in consequence of the disbandment of the Boom Defence Unit at Sheerness.
§ Mr. T. G. D. GalbraithThis boom defence depot will, by 1961, be reduced to a mooring and salvage depot and no precise figures of the numbers who will be required by then can be given at this stage.
Of approximately 100 employees at present engaged some established men may be transferred elsewhere; others will have left through normal wastage and the balance of redundant men, if any, will be discharged.
