§ 75. Mr. W. J. Brownasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty why no Whitley Council machinery is in existence for dealing with the affairs of the locally entered staffs employed in His Majesty's Dockyard in Gibraltar, in view of the fact that the staffs have repeatedly signified their desire for such machinery.
§ Mr. W. EdwardsThe whole question of representative machinery for locally entered staff abroad is at present under consideration. Provided it were recognised to be without prejudice to these discussions, there is no reason why the prewar District Whitley Committee at Gibraltar, on which locally entered staff were represented, should not be revived if the Staff Associations comprising the staff side as a whole so desire.
