§ *MR. W. T. WILSON (Lancashire,Westhoughton)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is aware that a notice has been posted at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, informing the workmen employed there that they will not be paid wages for Christmas Day; whether, seeing that for many years past wages have been paid for this holiday, he will say whether the above-mentioned notice was posted with his sanction; and whether he will take steps to continue the custom that has prevailed for so many years.
§ MR. EDMUND ROBERTSONThis regulation applies to casual labour, but if wrongly applied at Greenwich will be withdrawn.
