MR. MACFARLANE (Argyll)

On behalf of my hon. Friend the Member for Devonport, I beg to ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty has arrived at a decision in regard to the request of its employés in the naval establishments for the adoption of a working week of 48 hours?

THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. E. ROBERTSON,) Dundee

The matter has been carefully considered, and it is not proposed at present to alter the existing arrangements.
