HC Deb 31 January 1902 vol 102 cc26-7
* MR. NANNETTI (Dublin, College Green)

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office, whether he can state how many harness makers and saddlers are employed in the Island Bridge Barracks, Dublin, and whether the accommodation in the workshop there is taken full advantage of; and, seeing that the work done consists at present solely of repairs of the various articles of saddlery and harness, whether he will take advantage of the existence of this workshop to manufacture new articles which are now being made by imported foreign workmen in England.

LORD STANLEY

Only repair work is carried out at Ordnance Store Stations; manufacture is not permitted. It is not usual to publish the information required in the Question. †See preceding Volume, page 783.

* MR. NANNETTI

What is the number of harness makers and saddlers employed at this barracks?

LORD STANLEY

It is not usual to give that information.

* MR. NANNETTI

Is the workshop accommodation all utilised?

* MR. SPEAKER

The hon. Member must raise these questions in Supply, or at some other more suitable time.

* MR. NANNETTI

Then I shall have to trouble the House on another occasion.
