§ COLONEL LLOYD (Chatham)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, in view of the fact that the Government employees working on the island or extension works at Chatham cannot get home to the mainland for their dinner, whether the Government will take into consideration the necessity of erecting a workmen's canteen similar to the one at Portsmouth?
THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Sir U. KAY-SUTTLEWORTH,) Lancashire, ClitheroeThere are already three canteens provided for the workmen employed in Chatham Dockyard. Two of the three are most conveniently situated for those who work on the island and extension works. There does not appear to be any need for further provision for these men, especially as the men themselves manage, in a very satisfactory manner, one of these two canteens.
