HC Deb 03 November 1937 vol 328 c909
32. Colonel Wedgwood

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what action he proposes to take on the subject matter of the memorandum from the Dockyard and Imperial Workers' Union presented to him in Malta?

Mr. Cooper

This memorandum is now under consideration, and a reply will be sent shortly. I am not at present in a position to make a statement.

Colonel Wedgwood

Will the right hon. Gentleman take into account the very great rise in the cost of living which has taken place in Malta since these rates were fixed, and also the comparative wages in this country?

Mr. Cooper

Yes, Sir; that will be taken into account.
