HC Deb 03 December 1969 vol 792 c290W
70. Dame Joan Vickers

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will state the number of Royal Naval establishments in the United Kingdom and overseas which are included in his programme to be closed down, or transferred to other areas; and what is the anticipated cost or saving of money from the proposed reorganisation.

Dr. David Owen

We have announced details regarding 37 establishments. The total savings cannot easily be separated since in many cases the changes form part of a complex of decisions.
