HC Deb 30 October 1979 vol 972 c466W
Dr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for Industry when he intends to make a statement on the nationalised ship repairing and marine engine industries.

Mr. Adam Butler

The ship repair industry, both nationalised and private, will benefit from the proposed extension of the home credit scheme to conversions and alterations. The marine engine industry prospects are closely linked to those of shipbuilding, on which my statement of 23 July set out the Government's policy.
