HC Deb 13 December 1971 vol 828 cc9-10W
64. Mr. Douglas

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will give a date for the completion of membership of the board of Govan Shipbuilders Limited.

Mr. Ridley

No, Govan Shipbuilders Ltd. was set up with private capital and appointments to its board are a matter for the company. In view of the Government's special interest in this company the board has consulted my right hon. Friend on the appointment of a chairman in succession to the late Mr. Stenhouse.
