HC Deb 28 January 1918 vol 101 c1311
81. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether his attention has been called to the decision of the Admiralty to the effect that all permanent employés in the clerical departments at home dockyards in receipt of a salary of £250 per annum and under are to receive art additional bonus; that boy writers of eighteen are to receive an extra 9s. per week and boys under eighteen 7s. a week; and that women clerks are to have an additional 4s. per week; and will he say whether it is the intention of the War Office to make the same concessions to the clerical staffs employed by the Army Ordnance Department at Devonport and Bull Point?

Mr. FORSTER

Instructions are about to be issued as regards the further bonus for permanent employés of the clerical departments under the War Office, in accordance with the recent awards of the Conciliation and Arbitration Board.
