HC Deb 16 September 1914 vol 66 c928
4. Mr. BARNES

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that at the Greenock Torpedo Factory electrical repair work is almost entirely done by naval pensioners at wages considerably below the standard rate for electrical workers, which is 10½d. an hour; and whether, in the event of any vacancies occurring, electrical workers will be employed at the proper rate?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I will inquire at once into the matter.
