§ Mr. Wallasked the Secretary of State for Defence what warships or fleet auxiliaries have had their commissioning dates delayed due to shortages of dockyard labour; and how long it is estimated that each ship will be delayed.
§ Dr. David OwenThe planned commissioning dates of H.M. Ships following refit are arranged near the completion of a refit and so take account of changes in the dockyard programme and the question of delay in this connection does not therefore normally arise.
