HC Deb 28 March 1892 vol 3 c26
MR. WHITMORE (Chelsea)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can now state whether Messrs. Ransome, of Battersea, who are carrying out, under a sub-contract with Messrs. Thornycroft, of Chiswick, a portion of an Admiralty contract, are paying their workmen less than the trade rate of wages in contravention of the Resolution of this House of 13th February, 1891?

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

From the inquiries I have made I am satisfied that Messrs. Ransome have fully complied with the terms of the Resolution in question.
