HC Deb 23 May 1968 vol 765 c111W
2. Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs what evaluation he has made of the rôle of Portsmouth Dockyard within the future development of the South-East.

Mr. Urwin

As my hon. Friend knows, studies by the Ministry of Defence are in progress on the future of all the naval dockyards, including Portsmouth. Until the results are available it is too soon to make any evaluation of the sort suggested.
