asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether it is intended to proceed with the erection of the coaling wharf at Haulbowline Docks; whether he will urge the docks engineer to put the piling machinery in repair before the summer arrives, when the machinery will be required; and, whether any of the shipwrights employed at Haulbow line are under notice to be discharged by the 1st June?

THE FIRST LORD (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON) (Middlesex, Baling)

Yes; it is intended to proceed with the work at Haulbowline, and all the machinery required for the purpose will be put in order. Three shipwrights are under notice to be discharged on the 1st of June.
