§ 41. Mr. McMasterasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will now direct naval repair and refitting work to Harland and Wolff so that heavy redundancies may be avoided when current naval construction work is completed in March, 1967.
§ Mr. MasonNo. Our normal rule is to place orders by competitive tender, which is the fairest way. Harland and Wolff will be given opportunities to tender for naval work.
