HC Deb 18 December 1906 vol 167 c1260
MR. GROVE (Northamptonshire, S.)

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that the cost of living is dearer in Weedon than in London, and that the rents of workmen's cottages in Weedon have increased by 2s. to 3s. per week during the last five years, he will reconsider the adjustment of the wages of foremen and artificers employed in the Government works, so as to bring the rate of pay more into accordance with the Resolution passed by the House of Commons on 6th March, 1893.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) This matter is receiving consideration.
