HC Deb 17 May 1916 vol 82 cc1494-5
3. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is the intention of the Government to celebrate His Majesty's birthday by closing His Majesty's dockyards for the day?

Dr. MACNAMARA

It is proposed that Monday, the 26th June, shall be regarded as a closed day, so far as the bulk of the employés in His Majesty's dockyards are concerned. Such employés as are required to attend on that day to prevent urgent work from being stopped or delayed will receive extra pay in accordance with the usual Regulations.
