HC Deb 08 February 1963 vol 671 c120W
Sir P. Agnew

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty if he will state the amount allowed to Baileys, Malta Limited for their overhead expenditure in respect of repair work carried out for the Admiralty in the year 1962; and to what extent any allowance for the Company's overhead expenditure is made payable for the period during which no ships, vessels or small craft are sent in by the Admiralty for repair in the Malta dockyard.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

It is not customary to give details of contractual settlements with firms. Overheads are paid proportionately to the permissible direct labour costs involved.
