HC Deb 14 April 1902 vol 106 c146
MR. JAMES O'CONNOR: (Wicklow, W.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he can state in what districts of England the current rate of wages for skilled labourers is no higher than 16s. or 17s. per week.

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

If the hon. Member will specify the particular: classes of labourers whose rates of wages he wishes to know, any information in the possession of the Board of Trade shall be placed at his disposal. The term "skilled labourers" is too vague to enable an answer to be given to the Question.
