HC Deb 11 March 1912 vol 35 c822
Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked whether the number of skilled labourers employed in each department in the Royal dockyards is a fixed number; and, if so, will he state what that number is for Devonport, Portsmouth, and Chatham?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)

The number of skilled labourers employed in each department in the yards varies according to the work in hand. There is, therefore, no fixed proportion.
