§ MR. T. F. RICHARDS (Wolverhampton, W.)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can state what difference, if any, is paid for cutting garments at the Pimlico Clothing Department when such are for stock, and also when they are special measure sizes; and whether, in the event of the cutters being paid day-work, what is the percentage of allowance, if any, allowed to the cutting of measures as compared with the cutting of stock sizes.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) Cutting in the Royal Army Clothing Department Factory is carried out by time and not by piece-work. No question, therefore, of allowance arises.
