HC Deb 06 November 1911 vol 30 c1262
Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, whether the Departmental Committee appointed by the Admiralty to investigate the conditions under which the naval shipwrights serve has yet reported; and, if so, in view of the promise made in answer to the petition presented by the naval shipwrights in November, 1910, he is now in a position to give the decision of the Admiralty in the matter?

Dr. MACNAMARA

An interim report has been received, but it is found that the question requires longer and more careful investigation than was anticipated, and the Admiralty will be unable to arrive at any definite decision for some time to come.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say any particular time?

Dr. MACNAMARA

No, I cannot.
