§ Mr. ProfumoThe Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers workshop at Kinnegar serves the whole of Northern Ireland Command. I regret that the cost of moving equipment and stores from the rest of the United Kingdom to Northern Ireland for repair there and then back again would not be justified, particularly as adequate facilities already exist in the other Commands of the United Kingdom.
