Diesel Marine Engines

HC Deb 12 March 1969 vol 779 cc306-7W

99. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Technology what progress has been made in the reorganisation of the manufacture of large slow-speed diesel marine engines.

Mr. Fowler

At present 80 per cent. of the orders for slow-speed diesel engines are concentrated in four works. Considerable progress has, therefore, been made in the concentration of production recommended in the Geddes Report.
