§ MR. KEARLEY (Devonport)I beg to ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that several men employed as unskilled workmen in the Engineer Students College at Keyham are in receipt of wages of less than 16s. per week as against the minimum of 20s. per week; and can he explain why they are not paid on the latter scale.
§ MR. PRETYMANYes, sir; the attention of the Board has recently been called to the fact that there are un skilled labourers employed at the Royal Naval Engineering College on a lower scale of pay than that in force in the dockyards, and steps are being taken with a view to the removal of this anomaly.
