HC Deb 23 May 1980 vol 985 c410W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he intends to publish the recently completed review of the affairs of Harland and Wolff; and whether he will make a full statement about the future of the company.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The review includes much information which is commercially confidential and will not be published. I do, however, intend to make a statement about the future of the company shortly, and this will explain the considerations leading to the Government's decisions.
