HC Deb 23 July 1957 vol 574 c41W
Dr. Bennett

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what action he proposes to take about the reabsorption into other naval establishments of those Admiralty employees thrown out of employment by the closing down of H.M.S. "Hornet"; and what action he is taking about the disposal of the property.

Mr. T. G. D. Galbraith

Established personnel will be absorbed in vacancies in other establishments as they occur. Efforts will be made similarly to reemploy hired work-people, although discharges may be necessary. No decision has been reached on the future of the property. It will be disposed of if no further economical naval use can be found for it.
