HC Deb 16 July 1971 vol 821 c172W
Mr. David Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will make an estimate of the effect on the financial performance of Upper Clyde Shipbuilders Limited of wage increases granted in the past three years; and of the effect on the financial performance of the company of lost production due to strikes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ridley

As my hon. Friend the Minister of State, Department of Employment, has explained to my hon. Friend, I regret that the information needed to make such estimates is not available.
