HC Deb 17 March 1969 vol 780 cc34-5W
Mr. Woodnutt

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many people in his Department and in organisations responsible to his Department are employed full-time and part-time on matters connected with civil hovercraft.

Mr. John Morris

None directly. The Inter-Service Hovercraft Unit at Lee-on-Solent does, however, carry out evaluation of civil craft for possible military use. Other appropriate people in the Department also keep in touch with civil developments of potential military interest.
