HC Deb 09 July 1889 vol 337 cc1824-5
MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanarkshire, N.W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if, considering the favourable terms conceded to the gas stokers of the London Companies, he will now consider the advis- ability of granting an eight hours' day to the gas stokers employ ed in Government works?

MR. E. STANHOPE

Inquiries are being made as to the practice.
