§ MR. W. T. WILSONTo ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, whether the Lords of the Admiralty have considered the petitions of the workmen employed in the Royal dockyards, which were forwarded to them early in 1907; and, if so, have any of the trades had an increase of wages granted them; and what is the increase, if any, and to which trades has it been granted.
(Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) The petitions have now been considered and the Admiralty hope to be in a position to promulgate the decision some time in March.
