§ MER REGINALD LUCAS (Portsmouth)To ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether he can state why the increase of pay conceded to the joiners in His Majesty's Dockyards has not been extended to the joiners in the Naval Ordnance Departments as on previous occasions.
(Answered by Mr. Arthur Lee.) The Admiralty have recently decided that this increase of pay is to be extended to the joiners in the Naval Ordnance Departments, and the necessary instructions will shortly be issued.
