HC Deb 01 March 1916 vol 80 cc1061-2W
Mr. FALLE

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if there is any intention of closing the Marlborough Row gate, Portsmouth Dockyard; and if he is aware that any such closing would entail inconvenience to the dockyard men and loss to small owners, lodging-house keepers, and tradesmen in the district?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The question of the arrangements for entering the dockyard by the various gates is under considera- tion, with a view to the greater safeguarding of the public interest. But no decision such as that indicated in the question has been taken.
