Shipworkers (Transfer From Army)

33.

Mr. SHAW 
asked the Under-secretary of State for War whether a new Army  Council Order or Instruction has been issued the effect of which is to prevent commanding officers from forwarding applications from men who are ship-workers and desire transfer from the Army to the shipyards?

Mr. MACPHERSON 
No, Sir; so far as I can ascertain no such Instructions have been issued by the War Office.
