HC Deb 25 July 1956 vol 557 c47W
84. Mr. J. J. Astor

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty to what extent the proposed economies in Her Majesty's Dockyards will affect the mumbers of industrial workers in Her Majesty's Dockyard, Devonport.

Mr. Wingfield Digby

So far as my noble Friend can say at present, the reductions in naval expenditure recently announced by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer are not likely to involve any discharges of industrial workers in Her Majesty's Dockyard, Devonport.
