§ Q24. Sir C. Osborneasked the Prime Minister how many jobs he estimates the £140 million order from South Africa for naval arms would provide in this country; and what alternative export orders he can offer, in order to implement the Government's policy of providing full employment.
§ The Prime Minister:The hon. Member knows that it is not the practice to give details of arms orders or inquiries. I am sure he will understand, therefore, that it is equally not possible to give the estimates for which he asks. As to the final part of his Question, he will know that devaluation has created a wide range of further opportunities for profitable exports.
