§ Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH-COOKEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that the Bute Yard boathouse at Devonport is a mile distant from the gate; and whether he will consider the possibility of making some concession to the men working there so as to enable them to enjoy the same privilege as to dinner-time as is enjoyed by other men whose work is not so far distant from the gate?
§ The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. McKenna)The new boathouse in Devonport Dockyard is slightly more than half a mile from the nearest gate; some general instructions have, however, recently been issued, which, it is understood, will meet the difficulty in connection with the dinner-time of men employed at the place named.
