§ Sir John HannamTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if final decisions have yet been made on the proposals announced in July for rationalising the Royal Navy's support infrastructure.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonFollowing extensive consultation, the proposals announced by my right hon. Friend on 16 July 1991 will now proceed. I can say, however, that the number of posts affected at Rosyth and Copenacre are respectively some 100 and 220 fewer than previously anticipated.
