§ MR. HANBURY (Preston)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is the fact that foremen of the Ordnance Department at Woolwich and the other stations are paid for overtime while those at outlying stations are not paid; whether foremen who may be called upon to perform special duty when the stores are closed are paid at some stations and not at others; and what is the limit of time for which a foreman may be called upon to do ordinary business without pay after the ordinary business hours?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. WOODALL,) HanleyForemen of the Ordnance Store Department at Woolwich are paid on a daily rate, which carries with it pay for overtime. Foremen at out stations have weekly wages, which do not carry overtime payment. There is no limit of time during which a foreman may be called on to work.
§ MR. HANBURYWhat does the hon. Gentleman mean by not "carrying" overtime?
§ MR. WOODALLA foreman on day wage is entitled to overtime; one on weekly wage is not.
