HC Deb 16 March 1886 vol 303 c977
VISCOUNT FOLKESTONE (Middlesex, Enfield)

asked the Secretary of State for War, How many men are "standing out" in all departments of the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield; and, how long he anticipates it will be before they are again taken on to work full time?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN) (, &c.) Sterling

One hundred and seventy-nine men ordinarily employed on piece-work at Enfield are standing out because their particular work is too advanced, as explained last Thursday, but 120 of them will again be at work next week.
