HC Deb 01 July 1925 vol 185 c2502
27. Mr. KELLY

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether at Chatham Dockyard instructions have been given to the engineering manager that overtime must be worked to clear up arrears; and, if so, whether, in view of the large number of men unemployed, he will consider the advisability of taking on additional men instead of keeping the present staff on overtime?

Mr. DAVIDSON

The answer is in the negative.
