§ Mr. C. DUNCAN (on behalf of Mr. Barnes)asked whether the undertaking given by the Secretary of State for War and the President of the Board of Trade that the grievances of War Office employés shall be submitted to the Fair Wages Inter-departmental Committee also applies to employés under the Admiralty and other Departments; in what way are the grievances and the evidence thereon to be tendered to the Committee; and whether the Committee will receive and hear trade union representatives on behalf of the men?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI quite appreciate the importance of the point raised by the hon. Gentleman, but I can say no more at the moment than that the whole matter is under consideration.
