HC Deb 25 March 1912 vol 36 c11
Mr. O'GRADY

asked the Postmaster-General whether the Corporation of Belfast has, since 1904, insisted that contractors carrying out electrical installations shall pay the district rate of 8½d. per hour to electricians employed on contracts for the corporation; and, if so, will he insist that the firm of Messrs. Craig and Paton will pay the same rate of wages, namely, 8½d. per hour, to the electricians engaged on the work at the head post office at Belfast?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I am not aware of any such arrangements, but I will have inquiry made.
