HC Deb 17 July 1890 vol 347 cc79-80
MR. EDWARD KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN (Rochester)

I had intended to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether any great amount of extra time has recently been worked in the Clerical Department of Her Majesty's Dockyard, Chatham; whether the regulations provide that, when continuous overtime is thus being worked, the Admiralty should be informed, with a view to steps being taken to remove such strain upon the staff; and whether, in this instance, such information has been received? but, at the request of the hon. Gentleman, I will postpone the question.
