Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is aware that labourers are doing joiners' work at No. 18 store, Portsmouth Dockyard, and that they are provided with tools by the dockyard authorities; and whether he will give instructions that this work must be done by skilled workmen and not by men who have not served their apprenticeship to the trade?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe men are not engaged on joiners' work, but on rough carpentry, such as the erection and alteration of racks in the storehouses, etc. The tools are supplied by the dockyard, as is usual in these cases.
