§ Mr. CROOKSI desire to ask the Secretary of State for War a question of which I have given him private notice, namely: Whether he can make any statement to the House with regard to the progress of the dispute at Woolwich Arsenal?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe Government are fully alive to the importance of what is occurring, and are taking such steps as are necessary to deal with the situation. In my opinion it would not be in the public interest to make any further statement at present on the question, but I hope to do so to-morrow.
§ Mr. CROOKSWill the right hon. Gentleman see me personally presently and talk it over?
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes, Sir, certainly.
Mr. PRIMROSEWill the Government allow these workmen to push their demands by armed force as they have allowed Ulster?
