HC Deb 13 June 1911 vol 26 c1501W
Lord CHARLES BERESFORD

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can see his way to granting a holiday either before or after the Coronation Review, to the officers and men employed in Government tugs, who, through the exigencies of the services, will not be able to get a holiday on the day of the review?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The Noble Lord is apparently under the impression that the dockyard will be closed on the date of the Coronation review. That is not the case, and the officers and men to whom he refers are therefore in the same position as the other employés in the yard.
