HC Deb 27 February 1936 vol 309 c667W
Captain PLUGGE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of another alleged case of sabotage at Chatham, he will state what steps are taken when casual labour is engaged for the dockyards to ascertain that the applicants employed are of British nationality?

Mr. LINDSAY

Only men of British nationality are entered in the Home Dockyards and particulars of all entrants are reported to the Admiralty.

Lieut.-Commander FLETCHER

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can make any statement regarding the case of suspected sabotage in His Majesty's Ship "Velox"?

Mr. LINDSAY

The matter is under investigation and I regret that I am unable to give any further information while this investigation is proceeding.
