HC Deb 07 July 1910 vol 18 cc1780-1
Mr. CHARLES DUNCAN

asked the result of the investigations into the allegations of violations of the Fair Wage Clause in connection with painting work and cork dusting on His Majesty's ship "Gloucester," under construction at Messrs. Beardmore's, Clydebank, and on His Majesty's ship "Glasgow," and some torpedo boats, under construction at the Fairfield Shipbuilding Company's yard?

Mr. McKENNA

I understand that there is no agreed line of demarcation between painters' and red-leaders' work. Both firms have been communicated with, and both have reported that they are not employing any labourers on painters' work.
