§ 54. Mr. FRANCEasked the Prime Minister whether skilled men are still being returned from the Army to the shipyards and marine engine works; and whether any labour, skilled or otherwise, is being, or is about to be, withdrawn from the shipyards or marine engine works in order to transfer the men so withdrawn to the Army?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONMy right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. The reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; to the second in the negative; to the third that nothing is known at the War Office of any present intention to do so.
