HC Deb 11 February 1959 vol 599 cc206-7W
94. Mr. P. Wells

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty how many offers to purchase, or lease, Her Majesty's Dockyard, Sheerness, have been received; and the potential labour requirements involved.

Mr. T. G. D. Galbraith

No firm offers have been received but inquiries are at present being followed up and our industrial agents are continuing to invite offers for the Yard in part as well as in whole. Outside the Yard we have sold one property which will offer employment in the Isle of Sheppey.
