Mr. TYSON WILSONasked if the right hon. Gentleman is aware that the Automatic Exchange Company, Limited, of Edge Lane, Liverpool, who are executing large contracts for the Post Office, are paying the joiners in their employ 1½d. per hour less than the standard rate of wage; and whether he will take steps to compel this firm to comply with the Fair-Wages Resolution or remove them from the list of Government contractors?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELNo complaint has been made to me of any failure of this company to carry out the Fair-Wages Clause of its contract. If the hon. Member will furnish me with further particulars I will have inquiry made.
