17. Mr. W. M. WATSONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is intended to overhaul the floating dock at Rosyth Dockyard; whether it is proposed to do this work by dockyard labour or by outside contract; and whether, in 1361 view of the unemployment due to the closing of the dockyard, he will have the work done by local labour?
