§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for Defence how many existing jobs at the Royal Naval college, Greenwich, would be affected by a decision to put cleaning and catering work out to private contractors.
§ Mr. SpeedExamination to determine whether it would be practicable and cheaper to change to contract cleaning and catering services at the Royal Naval college is not yet complete, and thus no decisions have yet been taken. Were both tasks to go over to contract a total of 160 posts could be affected. There would, of course, be consultation with staff interests before any commitment to change in either area.
