HC Deb 24 February 1898 vol 53 cc1518-9
CAPTAIN NORTON

I beg to ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty, whether there is any intention upon the part of the Admiralty of placing the unskilled labourers employed at the Royal Victualling Yard, Deptford, upon the increased rate of wages recently granted to the unskilled labourers employed under the War Office at Woolwich?

THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.

The matter is under consideration, and I can make no statement until the Estimates are before the House.
