15. Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any communication has been made by his Department to the Canadian Government regarding the payment of the standard rate of wage to workmen employed by firms in Canada carrying out contracts for the supply of munitions of war or the building and repairing of ships for this country?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Bonar Law)

I have been in communication with the Canadian Government on the subject, so far as concerns contracts placed in Canada by the Imperial Munitions Board. The correspondence is still proceeding.
