HC Deb 25 June 1908 vol 191 c73
SIR SAMUEL SCOTT (Marylebone, W.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is the intention of the Government to give facilities to men employed in naval dockyards to join the Territorial Army.

MR. McKENNA

As far as the Admiralty are concerned, no obstacle will be placed in the way of dockyard men who wish to join the Territorial Army.

MR. ASHLEY (Lancashire, Blackpool)

And in the event of the mobilisation of the Territorial Force how will the work of the dockyards go on?

SIR SAMUEL SCOTT

Are the men aware of the views of the Admiralty on this point?

MR. McKENNA

I assume that the fact is known in the dockyards. I replied to a similar Question on 1st June, and no doubt the answer was reported.
