§ MR. BROADHURSTasked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether it is the intention of the Admiralty to make any alteration with regard to the ship fitting branches; and, whether it is contemplated to withdraw the shipwrights' apprentices from the fitting shops in the two dockyards where, under the new system, they have been introduced?
§ MR. CAMPBELL - BANNERMANSir, the Report of the Committee, presided over by the Civil Lord of the Admiralty, which has inquired into the Constructors' Department, deals with the two questions raised by my hon. Friend the Member for Stoke. I hope that that Report will very shortly be laid on the Table, and it will supply a 197 much more complete reply to my hon. Friend's inquiry than I could give in answer to him at this time. I would therefore ask him to await its production, and I trust there will be very little delay.
