Mr. Gerald Howarth
asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the allocation of contracts for the management of the royal dockyards.
Mr. Archie Hamilton
My hon. Friend will be aware that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State intends to make a statement about the royal dockyards this afternoon and he will therefore understand if I refrain from answering his question.
