§ 29. Dame Irene Wardasked 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. BrayWe 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.
