HC Deb 13 May 1907 vol 174 c640
MR. J. WARD

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether he has any information as to the sub-letting of the scaffolding by Messrs. Waring and Company in the contract for alterations at the British Museum; whether subletting and piece-work is prohibited by the terms of their contract; and, if so, what action, if any, it is proposed to take in the matter.

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. HARCOURT,) Lancashire, Rossendale

I have made careful inquiries in this matter and I find that the scaffolding has not been sublet nor does piece-work enter into the arrangements in regard to it.
