HC Deb 02 March 1893 vol 9 c824
CAPTAIN BOWLES (Middlesex, Enfield)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War how many discharges have taken place from the Enfield Small Arms Factory during the last month; and whether it is contemplated making any further reductions in the number of hands employed?

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. WOODALL,) Hanley

Sixty-one men have been discharged from the Small Arms Factory at Enfield during February; and it is feared further reduction in the amount of labour will have to be made, not only in Enfield, but in other Government establishments.
