Mr. W. M. ADAMSONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty why the Admiralty refuse to hold the inquiry regarding store-housemen which wa6 suggested by the Arbitration Court in 1919 in order to ascertain the relative position of these men; and when the post-War complement decision will be made operative?
§ Major BOYD-CARPENTERIt was not considered that an inquiry would serve any useful purpose, as the organisation of the Royal dockyards is dissimilar to that of War Office establishments. The post-War complements of the storehousemen are still under consideration.
