HC Deb 18 October 1909 vol 12 c3
Mr. T. F. RICHARDS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he was aware that at the Coventry Ordnance Works the Fair Wages Clause was not being observed in the polishing department, the rate of wages paid being 7d. per hour, whereas the district rate was 8d. per hour; and whether he would take steps to have the Clause complied with?

Mr. HALDANE

My attention has already been drawn to this matter, and inquiries are being made.
