HC Deb 19 July 1909 vol 8 cc239-40W
Mr. CROOKS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can arrange to give the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, a half-holiday on Tuesday to enable the workmen to take part in doing honours to the officers and men of the fleet who are to be entertained by the town of Woolwich on that day?

Mr. HALDANE

There is no objection the Arsenal being closed at 1 p.m. on Tuesday for the afternoon, but without pay. Arrangements have accordingly been made to this effect.
