HC Deb 17 March 1892 vol 2 c1067
MR. FENWICK (Northumberland, Wansbeck)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that the firm of Thornycroft, Chiswick, who have obtained a contract from the Admiralty, have sub-let a portion of the contract to the firm of Ransome and Co., Battersea, who refuse to pay trade rates of wages; and what steps have been taken to insure the observance of the Resolution of this House on 13th February, 1891?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON,) Middlesex, Ealing

My information is to the effect that, so far as this firm are concerned, they have fully complied with the terms of the Resolution referred to.
