§ Mr. LLOYD (for Major Archer-Shee)asked why men employed in the operative department of the Royal Mint were deprived of the day's time money which they would have earned if they had been working on the day of the funeral of his late Majesty?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEThe only workmen in the Mint who receive time money are a limited number of old-established men in the operative department. Time money is, as a rule, paid when the Mint is not working only on the following days—namely, Good Friday, the King's Birthday, Pyx Day and Christmas Day. It has, however, now been arranged that it shall, in accordance with the decision come to in regard to other departments, be paid in respect of the day of the funeral.
