HC Deb 11 February 1959 vol 599 c207W
93. Mr. Willey

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what steps he is taking to avoid the closing of the berths at Wear Dockyard, Sunderland.

Mr. T. G. D. Galbraith

The Wear Dockyard, Sunderland, is privately owned and the question of closing the berths is a matter for the commercial judgment of the firm concerned.
