§ MR. E. H. LAMB (Rochester)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, in connection with the promised reorganisation scheme in His Majesty's Dock yards, whether he can see his way to grant an all-round increase in wages of 2s. per week to all dockyard workmen with an extra increase for chargemen; and whether he will make the retiring age fifty-five instead of sixty, without reducing amount of pension.
(Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) The Admiralty are unable to make any statement on the subject at present.
