§ Mr. Wadeasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether, prior to authorising the sale of S. G. Brown Ltd., he will direct that there shall be inserted in the conditions of sale a condition that there shall be adopted a scheme of co-partnership approved by the employees and the present management to enable all employees of this firm to have the opportunity of sharing in any benefits from its past and future development towards which all have loyally contributed.
§ Mr. T. G. D. GalbraithThe considerations by which the Government would be guided in disposing of Messrs. S. G. Brown, Limited, were outlined by me in the debate on 25th June, and in the Answer given by my noble Friend in another place on 8th July. These included features designed to safeguard the interests of the employees, and I cannot go beyond what was said on those occasions.
