§ 115. and 116. Mr. Willisasked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty (1) whether he has yet made an estimate of the total number of jobs that will be lost in the Royal dockyards as the result of the declining volume of work to be done;
(2) what consultations he has had regarding the future decline of employment in the Royal dockyards.
§ Mr. HayI have nothing at present to add to my statement of 29th May. As I indicated then an examination of the work load at all the Dockyards is proceeding, and when this has reached a sufficiently advanced stage the trades unions will be consulted.
