HC Deb 13 July 1972 vol 840 c405W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Minister of State for Defence what is the number of civilian employees, leaving out Ministry technicians, he expects will be employed at the rocket range in the Western Isles when the present building programme is completed in 1976.

Mr. G. Johnson Smith

About 243 civilians employed by the Ministry of Defence and the Department of the Environment, including 37 who will require technical qualifications which may preclude local recruitment.
