HC Deb 30 September 1915 vol 74 cc1009-10
78. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that the clerks and writers employed under the War Department at Devonport, namely, at His Majesty's Gunwharf, Royal Engineer offices, Royal Artillery offices, and the headquarter offices, Mount Wise, have not yet received the war bonus; and whether, in view of the fact that the clerks and writers at Woolwich are already in receipt of a war bonus amounting, it is said, to 4s. a week, and that foremen and assistant foremen, tradesmen, and skilled labourers employed under the War Office have received a war bonus since 28th March, he can see his way to extend the same privileges to the clerks and writers employed under the War Department at Devenport?

Mr. FORSTER

The question of additional pay for clerks and writers in War Department employ is receiving consideration. I am not aware that a war bonus has already been granted to those at Woolwich.
