MR. J. D. LEWISasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether, looking to the general rise in wages throughout the country, he will, at an early period, take into his consideration the propriety of revising the scale of pay of artisans in Her Majesty's Dockyards?
§ MR. GOSCHEN, in reply, said, that no revision of the scale of pay in Her Majesty's dockyards was contemplated 1748 beyond the addition to the wages of the labourers in the dockyards and victualling yards which he announced on Friday last.
