Navy Days, Chatham and Portsmouth (Cancellation)

HC Deb 06 February 1957 vol 564 c62W

91. Mr. Bottomley

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty why the Navy days at Chatham Dockyard due to be held at Easter have been cancelled.

Mr. Soames

The Navy days which were to have been held at Chatham and Portsmouth at Easter have been cancelled because it was considered that fuel restrictions would too much reduce both the scale of the displays and the number of visitors.
