HC Deb 14 March 1893 vol 10 c28
COLONEL LOCKWOOD (Essex, Epping)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can place any probable limit on the number of men likely to be discharged from the Enfield Small Arms Manufactory; and if, in carrying out the reductions he finds necessary, he will as far as possible consider the cases of married men with families dependent on them for support?

MR. WOODALL

I can only say that the hon. and gallant Member may rest assured that every effort will be made to keep the number of discharges as low, and to carry them out with as little hardship, as possible.
