§ MR. ELLIS DAVIESI beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether, in view of the number of men who are out of employment in the town of Carnarvon, he can see his way to employ an increased number in the repair of Carnarvon Castle.
§ THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. L. HARCOURT,) Lancashire, RossendaleCarnarvon Castle is not a building suitable for this kind of work. 991 Pointing the walls is the only repair possible; the work has to be done with great care, and the winter is not a suitable time to carry it out. I therefore regret that I am unable to adopt my hon. friend's suggestion; but I will take care that as many men are kept employed as is consistent with the circumstances.
