HC Deb 25 May 1978 vol 950 c674W
Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what increase of productivity has been shown by each of the Royal dockyards in each of the past 10 years.

Dr. Gilbert

Productivity agreements were introduced into the Royal dockyards between October 1970 and February 1971. The monitoring of these agreements indicates that performance in the years since then has varied as follows:

officers of captain's rank and above are now occupying official residences; and how many of those who are entitled to do so are living elsewhere.

Mr. Duffy

The term "official residence" is used to denote a house or flat which is designated for occupation by an officer, normally of two star rank or above, holding a particular command, or other special appointment. At present 27 senior naval officers occupy such official residences. One officer to whom a residence is allocated is not currently occupying it, but this is due to the fact that the location of his post has recently been changed, and a suitable residence has yet to be found in the new area.
