11. Sir C. KI N LOCH-COOKE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that a number of male civilian employés at the Royal naval hospitals are not receiving the last war bonus of 3s. a week granted as from the 2nd August, 1917and will he say why these civilian employés are treated in a different manner in this respect to the engineers' and electricians' staff?

Dr. MACNAMARA

It is the fact that the employés in question have not received this bonus except where they are engaged in connection with the maintenance and running of the hospital machinery and electrical plant. This is in accordance with Treasury decision.
