HC Deb 10 March 1975 vol 888 c55W
29. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he will make a statement on the location of the headquarters of the National Shipbuilding Corporation.

Mr. Meacher

No decision on the location of the headquarters has yet been taken, but the discussion paper published last July said that the controlling body of the nationalised shipbuilding industry should have its headquarters in an assisted area with a tradition of shipbuilding.
