HC Deb 21 May 1969 vol 784 c80W
29. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of Technology whether he will make a statement on the proposed merger between C. A. Parsons Limited with Bruce Peebles Limited; and whether he has obtained an assurance that there will be no transfer from the Tyne to Edinburgh of the transformers section of C. A. Parsons.

Dr. Bray

We have no reason to oppose this merger, and sought assurance only that every effort would be made to maintain employment levels both on Tyneside and in Edinburgh.
