HC Deb 16 February 1967 vol 741 c162W
Mr. Bagier

asked the Minister of Technology what proposals he has received for grouping of shipyards from shipyard managements as proposed in the Geddes Report; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Benn

None. The Shipbuilding Industry Board has discussed grouping problems with many shipbuilders both individually and collectively but I understand that no proposal for a shipyard group of the kind proposed by the Geddes Committee has yet been submitted to the Board.
