Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that plastering work in the different naval establishments in Portsmouth is on occasions performed by men who are not plasterers, in certain instances being done by bricklayers; and whether he will take steps to secure the employment of plasterers for plastering work?
§ Mr. McKENNAPlasterers' work is only done by bricklayers when the amount of it is small, such as jobbing and patching. When the extent of the work warrants it, plasterers would be engaged or the work let to contract.
