HC Deb 10 November 1937 vol 328 c1752
15. Mr. Ralph Beaumont

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what is the reason for the recent curtailment of payment by results in Portsmouth Dockyard?

Mr. Shakespeare

There has been no recent curtailment of payment by results in Portsmouth yard, but the actual numbers employed on this basis necessarily fluctuate week by week in accordance with requirements.
