HC Deb 07 August 1884 vol 292 cc104-5
MR. STEWART MACLIVER

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty, If he can now give an answer to the memorials by shipwrights, joiners, and other classes whose claims were heard by him and by the Secretary during their visits to the Dockyards; and, whether any concession is intended to be made to the memorialists?

SIR THOMAS BRASSEY

The Memorials of the shipwrights and other classes of workmen in the Dockyards have been carefully considered by the Board. In a few cases we propose an advance; but we do not feel justified in recommending any general increase of pay in the Dockyards. Replies in this sense will be communicated to the Petitioners.
