HC Deb 23 July 1969 vol 787 cc388-9W
Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will make a statement on the reorganisation of Whitley Councils for the Royal Naval Dockyards.

Dr. David Owen

As I told the House on 2nd May, I am looking into the future organisation of the Whitley Committees of the Royal Dockyards. Discussions will, of course, be held with the representatives of the staff concerned, and some discussions about the possible organization in the Portsmouth area are expected to commence shortly.
