HC Deb 17 June 1952 vol 502 cc90-1W
92. Mr. F. Willey

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what effect the reduction in the allocation of steel to the shipbuilding industry for the third quarter of this year is estimated to have on the number of shipbuilding workers unemployed in Sunderland.

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

It is unlikely that the steel allocations to Sunderland shipbuilders in the third quarter of this year will materially affect the level of employment on shipbuilding in the area.
