§ 10. Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether employés discharged from His Majesty's Dockyard are given any preference for employment in the out-stations of the British Empire?
Mr. DAVIDSONNo, Sir; there is no increase in the numbers of men who can suitably and economically be employed in yards abroad, and if any men discharged at home are sent to fill vacancies abroad other men would have to be discharged at home in their place.
