HC Deb 02 June 1913 vol 53 cc562-3
20. Mr. BARNES

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if the Isca Foundry, Newport, is on the list of Admiralty contractors; if he is aware that the firm is unfair both as to hours and wages; and will he see that this firm conform to current labour conditions for Admiralty work and also that they conform to current labour conditions as a condition to getting further contracts?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; to the second, no information is available at present; and to the third part, I have received a complaint from my hon. Friend and inquiry will be made.
