HC Deb 29 July 1918 vol 109 cc53-4W
Colonel COLLINS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if the Shipyards Labour Department has been disbanded; and, if so, can he state the reasons for this action?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The Department referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend is now known as the Admiralty Labour Department. This Department has not been disbanded; nor, I may add, is it intended to disband it. The Department has been placed under the general superintendence of the Third Civil Lord, Sir Robert S. Home, K.B.E., K.C.
