HC Deb 12 May 1930 vol 238 c1462W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many casual workers have been discharged from Devonport Dockyard during the last three weeks; whether it is proposed to make any further discharges; and whether all casual employés are to be discharged by the end of June next?

Mr. G. HALL

It is impossible to state whether at any future date all casual labour will have been discharged, since casual labour is taken on and stood off according to the fluctuations of the work on hand.
