HC Deb 08 December 1965 vol 722 c114W
Sir Knox Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for the Royal Navy establishment at Antrim; if he will take into consideration its importance for civilian employment in the constituency of Antrim, South; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

So far as can be foreseen at present, the Royal Naval Armament Depot at Antrim will be required for some years to come. I fully appreciate the contribution which this establishment makes to the local economy.
