HC Deb 28 July 1954 vol 531 cc60-1W
94. Mr. Albu

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will give an assurance that it is still his policy to give preference to Remploy for the packaging of defence equipment.

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

When such contracts are placed directly by the Admiralty, Remploy and similar organisations are invited to tender and they receive special consideration in this, as in other fields of tendering. The facilities offered by Remploy in this direction have also been brought to the notice of Admiralty contractors likely to be concerned with the supply of defence equipment.
