HC Deb 03 June 1965 vol 713 c241W
17. 17. Mr. Dell

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, in view of the Government's policy of cutting defence expenditure, what plans his Department is making to redeploy all types of resources which would be released by such cuts.

Mr. George Brown

Our redeployment plans for defence resources as a whole must await the outcome of the comprehensive review of defence expenditure now under way. Experience of the changes already taking place in the aircraft industry shows that men and materials released from defence work can be successfully redeployed, to the general benefit of our economy.
