§ 15. Mr. JOHN DAVISONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if the additional appointment of an assistant superintendent at the Royal Naval Cordite Factory, Holton Heath, will in any way affect, either financially or numerically, the present technical staff of that Department?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Commander Eyres-Monsell)Yes, Sir. We hope to effect some reduction in the number of the staff, but what the reduction will be has not yet been determined. The emoluments of the technical staff at the factory will not be affected.
