§ 4. Mr. FALLEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether those men of the Royal dockyards who have been pensioned since 1st October or earlier and who have since been working in the dockyard owing to loyalty on their part and the pressure of work, will be entitled to the full benefit of the recent rise of wages from the 1st October or other date front which the increases may start?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAYes, Sir.
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThey will get the full benefit of the increase as from 31st October, if they were working at that time.
§ Mr. FALLEThat does not answer the question with regard to pension and bonus. It only means the pay. I asked whether they would get full benefits?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAPerhaps the hon. Member will put down a question about the bonus. I do not know what bonus he refers to. They will get just the same as the ordinary dockyard employés. They will get the increase as from 31st October last.
