Sir JOHN JACKSON

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the number 269, given as the number of men in the home dockyards retired from establishment since 1st April, 1911, included men who died during that period; and, if not, could he give the number of established men who had died since the date in question?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; the reply to the second part is forty.
