§ Mr. Trotterasked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the number of naval and civilian personnel, respectively, engaged on the planning and design of new naval vessels; and how these figures compare with the numbers for 1964.
§ Mr. JuddThe approximate number of naval officers and Ministry of Defence civilian non-industrial staff directly employed on the planning and design of new construction naval vessels in 1974 is 30 and 630 respectively. I regret the corresponding figures for 1964 are not available.
