HC Deb 30 April 1907 vol 173 c685
MR. T. F. RICHARDS (Wolverhampton, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can say how many adult male employees there are employed at the Pimlico Clothing Factory and Woolwich Arsenal whose wages do not amount to 30s. for a full working week.

MR. HALDANE

At the Royal Army Clothing Department there are 514 adult male employees whose wages do not amount to 30s. a week. At the Royal Arsenal there are 4,124 such employees who earn less than 30s. for a full working week. There are also 3,442 men in the Ordnance Factories engaged on piece work who are rated at less than 30s. a week, most of whom earn more than that amount.
