HC Deb 15 June 1976 vol 913 cc96-7W
35. Mr. Moonman

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what would be the total number of jobs lost, both civilian and military, as a result of any further Government cuts in defence; and what proportions these would represent of the total work force employed by the Army.

Mr. William Rodgers

Obviously much would depend on the size of further cuts in defence spending, but significant savings would have inescapable consequences for employment.
