§ 89. Mr. Callaghanasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he will give an assurance that he will continue to repair naval ships in Cardiff.
§ Mr. Wingfield DigbyOnly a limited number of warships will be repaired by contract in the near future, owing to the need for economy. Such contracts as are placed are only likely to go to those firms which on cost or other grounds are particularly efficient at warship work. I cannot, therefore, give an assurance that work will be allotted to firms at any particular place.
