HC Deb 11 June 1974 vol 874 c516W
Q15. Mr. Robin F. Cook

asked the Prime Minister if he will set up an inter-department committee consisting of the Ministry of Defense and the Department of Employment to consider the maintenance of employment in industries affected by defense cuts.

The Prime Minister

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defense is already in close touch with other Departments about the possible employment effects of the defense review and I do not consider that any formal machinery is called for at present.
