§ Mr. HAMILTON BENNasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether instructions have been recently given that all the men who have hitherto been annually engaged for temporary work on the Greenwich Hospital estate must in future register themselves at the local labour bureau as a condition of re-engagement?
§ Mr. McKENNAA notice was posted in the Works Department Yard at Greenwich stating that no application for employment will be entertained unless made through the Labour Exchange.
§ Mr. HAMILTON BENNCan the right hon. Gentleman inform me whether the men usually engaged in this work will be prejudiced by having to take their turn with the other unemployed, and whether they will have to register each time they are stood off for two or three days?
§ Mr. McKENNAI quite agree with the hon. Member the wording of the form was probably not put in the best way possible. No prejudice will occur to men usually employed.
