HC Deb 26 March 1914 vol 60 cc551-2
83. Mr. FALLE

asked when the drying room for clothing, promised to the em- ployés in the rigging house, Portsmouth Dockyard, is to be given; and when compensation is to be given these men for losses sustained in the fire?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)

It is anticipated that the temporary drying room, now in course of construction will be completed about the middle of next month. With regard to the second part of the question, the claims have been considered, and payment of compensation will be made immediately.
