HC Deb 08 November 1977 vol 938 cc67-8W
38. Mr. Ovenden

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the progress towards navalisation of posts in the Royal naval dockyards.

Mr. Duffy

There has been no change in policy on the manning of management posts in the Royal naval dockyards. The present balance between civilian and naval officers will be broadly maintained.
