§ 26. Mr. FALLEasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he is aware that an advance of wages has been granted to temporary writers employed in His Majesty's dockyards; and if he will give a corresponding advance to all temporary writers employed in War Department establishments?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe conditions are not identical in the two Services, but the question of the pay of writers in War Department employment is under consideration.
§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEIf the Government acquiesces in my hon. Friend's suggestion, will they take care that the same invidious distinctions are not made which are now being made in the case of temporary writers?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe whole question is under consideration.
