§ Sir K. WOODasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has now considered the Objections that have been raised by employés at Woolwich Arsenal to the arrangements to take the annual week's leave in one particular week; what decision he has arrived at in relation to this matter; and whether this applies to all departments?
§ Mr. SHAWThe representations which have been received have been considered, but I regret that I am unable to depart from the decision already taken. As regards the last part of the question, it is not at present in contemplation to apply the week's closure to any War De-1924W partment establishment at Woolwich Arsenal other than the Ordnance factories.
