§ CAPTAIN C. W. NORTON (Newington, W.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can state the present minimum wage of the labourers employed in the Naval Ordnance Department in Woolwich Arsenal: and whether, seeing that these men have not the advantage of certain privileges, he will state if it is the intention of the Department to raise their minimum wage to that of those similarly employed under the War Department?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTYThe Government have decided to raise the minimum wage of the labourers employed in the Naval Ordnance 1526 Department in Woolwich Arsenal to that of those similarly employed in the War Department.
