HC Deb 05 April 1910 vol 16 cc207-8
Sir OWEN PHILIPPS

asked whether the right hon. Gentleman could now state on what date the establishment will be reopened at Pembroke Dockyard, and what are the number of vacancies to be filled?

Mr. McKENNA

Detailed instructions will be issued to the dockyards as soon as practicable relative to the reopening of the establishment and the filling of vacancies.

Sir OWEN PHILIPPS

Will the right hon. Gentleman say how soon he expects this will be? It has been promised for some considerable time.

Mr. McKENNA

Very shortly. As my hon. Friend knows it involves a great deal of labour, but the matter is being taken in hand as fast as possible.
