§ MR. D. A. THOMAS (Merthyr Tydvil)I beg to ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether he can now state the results of the adoption of the reduced hours of work in the Admiralty Departments last year; and whether the amount of work done per individual person has diminished; and, if not, whether he will consider the advisability of a still further reduction in the hours?
§ MR. E. ROBERTSONThe Admiralty are, so far, satisfied with the results of the new system, but it has not been long enough in operation to justify a definite conclusion to be yet announced.
