HC Deb 06 July 1910 vol 18 cc1635-6
Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

asked the Secretary for War whether, as the result of his inquiries, he can now say whether the average of 17s. 6d. per week paid to labourers by the Army Ordnance in Colchester constitutes fair wages; and what steps he will take in the matter?

Mr. HALDANE

The inquiry is still proceeding. It is being made by the Board of Trade.

Mr. NANNETTI

Will the right hon. Gentleman include the Irish Ordnance labourers in the same inquiry?

Mr. HALDANE

The hon. Gentleman might put down a question.
