HC Deb 28 March 1928 vol 215 c1149
11. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the assurance given that his Department would raise no objection to the employment of industrial employés of the dockyard for vacant appointments under the Ministry of Labour as third-class officers, he will make it clear, by issuing an instruction to the local officers of the dockyards, that applications from industrial employés, if they fulfil the necessary conditions, are to be treated as other applications and sent forward for consideration?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

No useful purpose would be served by issuing such an instruction as that suggested by the hon. and gallant Member, as the Ministry of Labour do not require any more candidates.
