HC Deb 01 August 1956 vol 557 cc149-50W
69. Mr. Chichester-Clark

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether, when making adjustments in naval establishments, he will bear in mind, among other considerations, local unemployment conditions.

Mr. Wingfield Digby

I can assure my hon. Friend that in making economies in naval establishments the existence of unemployment locally will be taken fully into account. Other considerations may, however, be of overriding importance.
