Shipbuilding Dr. Godman asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will estimate the projected number of jobs in the shipbuilding industry from 1987 to 1990. Mr. Giles Shaw [pursuant to his reply, 5 March 1987, column 654]: In January this year, employment in merchant shipbuilding in Great Britain was some 9,200. There is no reliable basis on which to forecast the position in future years.
