HC Deb 07 March 1904 vol 131 cc289-90
MR. KEARLEY (Devonport)

To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the fact that the joiners in the Naval Ordnance Depot have now been granted a similar increase of pay to that †See (4) Debates, cxxix., 1020 given to the joiners in Devonport Dockyard, a like concession will now be made to the joiners in the Royal William Victualling Yard.

(Answered by Mr. Pretyman.) The question of granting an increase of pay to the carpenters in the Victualling Yards (to whom the hon. Member probably refers) is now under consideration, and I shall be very glad to inform him of the decision as soon as it is arrived at.
