HC Deb 25 June 1952 vol 502 c189W
90. Mr. Steward

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, in view of the security considerations involved, why an Admiralty contract, details of which have been given him, was placed at a factory entirely run by men who are known Communists.

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

The firm in question are not on the Admiralty List of Contractors and have not held any Admiralty contracts. I am also informed that at no time have they carried out any sub-contract work on Admiralty account.
