§ Mr. FALLEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is aware that an increasing number of men working in His Majesty's dockyard at Portsmouth live at the north end of that town; and if he will consider the possibility of opening a gate and a muster station at Flathouse, at the north end of the dockyard, for these men?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI believe it is the fact that an increasing number of the men live at the north end of the town. No application for the opening of a new gate and muster station at Flathouse has been received from the men, but the question has been considered by the local dockyard officers. It is possible that these additional facilities may ultimately be required, when the new works at present in hand in that portion of the dockyard are completed, and the question will be further considered at a later date.
