§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty has reached any decision with regard to giving some additional work to the dockyards, and thereby reducing the number of discharges?
§ Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAMI regret that nothing can be done to reduce the number of discharges that must he made. With a view to the employment of the full numbers remaining it is intended to give the Royal Dockyards every opportunity of tendering for minor productive work.
