HC Deb 11 December 1893 vol 19 c1043
MR. KEARLEY (Devonport)

I beg to ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty have arrived at a decision as to reverting to Fridays as pay day instead of Saturdays at Bull Point, Devonport?

THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. E. ROBERTSON, Dundee)

In view of the Petition of the workmen at Bull Point to the effect that Saturday is an inconvenient day upon which to receive their pay, the Admiralty have determined to accede to their request to be paid on Friday.
