§ Sir JOHN SPEARasked the Secretary to the Admiralty when the annual grant of nine days' leave of absence with pay, recently conceded to all chargemen of trades, after they have served three years continuously, will be extended to the chargemen under dockyard regulations in the Naval Ordnance Department at Plymouth?
§ Dr. MACNAMARASo far as I am aware the concession of annual leave to chargemen of trades is already in effect in the case of recognised chargemen of trades with the prescribed service in the Naval Ordnance Depot at Plymouth. I am, however, inquiring into the matter.
