§ Dr. GodmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement concerning the disposal of Harland and Wolff and that shipyard's present and future work load.
§ Mr. Needham[holding answer 25 January 1990]: The sale of the Harland and Wolff business to a new company set up by the management and employees backed by Fred Olsen was completed on 8 September 1989. As the company is no longer in public ownership, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on its work load.
