Hodgkinson, Salford, contractors to the Admiralty, are not observing the Fair-Wages Clause in the payment of certain ironfounders and pattern-makers in their employment; and whether he will have inquiry made and secure compliance with the Clause in question?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)This firm has at present no Admiralty orders, either directly or as sub-contractors. In the event of their receiving any order they would, of course, be required to comply with the conditions of the Fair-Wages Clause.
