HC Deb 23 March 1908 vol 186 cc1063-4
MR. E. H. LAMB (Rochester)

To ask the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the fact that the question of the reopening of the list of established men in His Majesty's dockyards is now being considered by His Majesty's Government, as distinct from the Admiralty, and that the establishment was one of the inducements held out to hired men when entering the Royal dockyards, he will take steps to secure the speedy reopening of the establishment.

(Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) My right hon. friend has requested that I should reply to this Question. I cannot at present add to the statement already made, that this question is under the consideration of His Majesty's Government.
