§ CAPTAIN DONELANI beg to ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that the labourers employed in the. Ordnance Department at Haulbowline are only in receipt of 16s. per week; and whether the Admiralty will consider the desirability of paying these men upon the Same scale as labourers employed upon similar work in other Dockyards?
THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. J. AUSTEN CHAMBEIILAIN,) Worcestershire, E.The hon. and gallant Member is apparently under a misapprehension. There are no labourers employed under the Admiralty in the Ordnance Department at Haulbowline. The Question should apparently be addressed to the War Office.
