§ 11. Mr. ANDERSONasked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is aware that the Admiralty have brought a number of women workers to Invergordon and that the lack of housing accommodation is serious; whether the Admiralty, despite the representations made to them, have refused to move in this matter; and if he will state what it is proposed to do?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAA number of women workers have sought and obtained employment at Invergordon. It is the fact that there is a serious lack of housing accommodation at Invergordon. The Admiralty are fully informed of the situation, both by representations of their own officers and others, and by personal investigation by members of the Board on the spot, and, so far from refusing to move in the matter, it is in contemplation to pro- 1561 vide accommodation, in addition to that which has been constructed and which is in use by the workmen and by a large number of the women employed in connection with the Invergordon establishment.
