HC Deb 22 April 1902 vol 106 c930
MR. REGINALD LUCAS (Portsmouth)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether there is a prospect of reduction of work and consequent dismissal of employees from Portsmouth Dockyard.

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

There will be no diminution in the amount of work at Portsmouth Dockyard, and no reduction in the number of men employed is in contemplation.
