HC Deb 10 May 1916 vol 82 c666
95. Mr. W. THORNE

asked the First Commissioner of Works if he is aware that youths waiting on bricklayers, plasterers, and carpenters on the Government works, Abbey Wood, are only being paid at the rate of 5d., 6d., and 7d. per hour, the proper rate being 9¼d.; and if he intends taking any action in the matter?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MUNITIONS DEPARTMENT (Dr. Addison)

My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. If my hon. Friend will send me privately particulars of the works to which he refers, I shall be glad to have inquiry made.
