HC Deb 21 May 1986 vol 98 cc186-7W
Dr. Godman

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how the sums of money announced on 14 May, Official Report, column 705, for British Shipbuilders Enterprise Ltd. will be allocated between the different areas affected by recent redundancies in the shipbuilding industry.

Mr. Peter Morrison

British Shipbuilders is pressing ahead with the arrangements for British Shipbuilders Enterprise Ltd., including the appointment of a board and recruitment of key personnel. It will be for the new company to determine how the moneys should be allocated, though clearly the pattern of spend will be influenced by that of the redundancies the new company is charged to help.
