§ MR. CREMERI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will direct inquiries to be made concerning the allegations made by the Painters' Society at Windsor that the wages which are being paid by the contractor of the Windsor Barracks is not in accordance with the Resolution passed by the House of Commons, 13th February, 1891; and whether, in such inquiry, evidence from the Painters' Society, concerning the local rate of wages, will be considered?
§ MR. WOODALL(who replied) said, the views of the Painters' Society are before the War Office Authorities, and inquiry is being made into their allegations.
§ MR. CREMERThe hon. Gentleman has stated that there is to be an inquiry. Will the members of the Painters' Society have an opportunity of giving evidence as well as the contractors?
§ MR. WOODALLYes, Sir; we shall welcome information just as much from the Painters' Society as from the contractors.
