HC Deb 01 July 1981 vol 7 c426W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what will be the total reduction in dockyard load in percentage terms as a result of the changes made by the defence review.

Mr. Blaker

The dockyard load, which includes support of fleet and civil establishments, as well as ships, will be about one-third less in three years' time than that forecast before the defence review.
