§ MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN (Kent, Faversham)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, having regard to the great dissatisfaction with which the system of classification is regarded in Her Majesty's dockyards, and to the fact that that system is not adopted in private shipbuilding yards, the Board of Admiralty are prepared to recommend its discontinuance?
§ THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. ROBERTSON,) DundeeIn conjunction with my right hon. Friend the Secretary to the Admiralty, I have visited the dockyards and taken the evidence of the workmen on the system of classification and other points. The subject is one of great Importance, and is receiving the most careful consideration of the Admiralty.
