HC Deb 10 February 1965 vol 706 cc100-1W
82. Mr. Fisher

asked the Minister of Aviation what Estimate he has made of the number of people who will become unemployed in the Borough of Kingston, Surbiton and Malden as a result of the cancellation of the P1154 fighter aircraft.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

A considerable amount of reorganisation and redeployment will obviously be required in the various Hawker Siddeley Aviation factories as a result of the changes in the military aircraft programme announced on 2nd February. Hawker Siddeley are considering urgently how best to meet this situation, and can be expected to keep their employees informed through the normal consultative machinery. Meanwhile 1 think it would be wrong for me to anticipate any announcements they may have to make about specific redundancies in particular places.
