§ 8. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is proposed to make any concession to the masons and bricklayers employed in the Royal dockyards; and, if not, will he say why these trades were overlooked in the recent concessions announced?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe case of bricklayers and masons was considered with those of the other classes of employés, but, having regard to all the circumstances, it was not considered that any further increase in the rates for this class was warranted at present
§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the masons and bricklayers do not know of this?
§ 9. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked whether the same concessions will be conceded to men of all trades working in His Majesty's gunwharves as have been given to men employed in His Majesty's dockyards?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe concessions granted in the replies to the 1914 petitions to tradesmen in His Majesty's dockyards will be conceded to corresponding grades in naval ordnance establishments, including the gunwharves.
