HC Deb 27 October 1909 vol 12 cc1159-60W
Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the contemplated addition to the number of men employed at the Government dockyard works at Rosyth next March of 2,000, he will take the necessary steps to secure proper hospital accommodation on the spot, to prevent wounded men being carried 3½ miles to a hospital in which the room is limited, and in which arrangements, in the event of an accident to several men, would prove inadequate?

Mr. McKENNA

The care of the men employed at the dockyard works at Rosyth is entirely in the hands of the contractors, and the Admiralty have no authority in the matter.
