Mr. R. BEAUMONT

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what alterations have taken place since 1920 in the regulations governing the proportion of men to be established in His Majesty's dockyards?

Sir B. EYRES MONSELL

Such alterations as have been made since 1920 have been, not in the proportion of men to be established, but in the rate of filling vacancies in the established numbers. In

His Majesty's inspector of taxes and staff at Station Chambers, Victoria Road, Romford, is inadequate, and that there is serious overcrowding; and whether it is proposed to obtain alternative accommodation?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

The answer to both parts of the question is in the negative. I may say that, while the premises are considered adequate to meet present requirements of the district, further space is available, if required, within the existing building. I have, however, received no complaints regarding the inadequacy of the accommodation.
