Mr. Adam Hunter

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what effect the overall reduction in dockyard manpower set out in the Statement on Defence Estimates 1969, Command Paper No. 3927, will have on the size of the labour force at Rosyth Dockyard over the next five years.

Mr. John Morris

Whilst there will be an overall reduction in the United Kingdom dockyard labour force over the next five years, an increase of about 300 men in the general manager's departments at Rosyth Dockyard is planned.
