HC Deb 04 February 1948 vol 446 c279W
70. Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he will now make a further statement with regard to the year in which the Dockyard Chargemen's Association was founded.

Mr. W. Edwards

I regret that the information given on this point on 3rd December last was incorrect. The Charge-men's Association was actually founded in 1902, but became an approved association after the passing of the Trade Disputes Act, 1927, and remained so until the repeal of that Act.
