HC Deb 22 August 1916 vol 85 cc2478-9
Sir H. DALZIEL (by Private Notice)

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is yet able to make a statement in reference to the wages and allowances paid to certain classes of workmen at Rosyth?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)

Since Tuesday last, when I gave my right hon. Friend an undertaking on this point, this matter has again been looked into, and I am now in a position to say that, pending the provision of sufficient housing accommodation at Rosyth, men locally entered and living in towns at a distance therefrom will receive the 6d. a day recently sanctioned for men transferred from the Southern yards.
