§ MR. ARTHUR HENDERSONI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the inquiry now being made as to wages paid in certain occupations will include particulars of employment in mines and quarries, and also on railways and tramway services; and when the information is likely to be presented to the House.
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY TO THE BOARD of TRADE (Mr. KEARLEY, Devonport)Yes. The inquiry will extend to the industries named by my hon. friend. The results will be published in sections from time to time, but it is impossible to say when the information will be complete.
§ MR. J. WARDWill it include railway and tram servants on systems in course of construction?
§ MR. KEARLEYI will inquire.
