§ 38. Mr. MOLESasked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the fact that a sewing maid at the War Hospital, Grosvenor Road, Belfast, is only paid at the rate of 18s. per week, out of which sum she has to maintain herself and her son, a lad of school age; and whether, as charwomen are paid at a rate of 23s. to 25s. weekly, steps will at once be taken to see that this woman is paid a living wage, as suggested by the local Children Act Committee which has investigated the circumstances of this case?
Captain GUESTI am having inquiry, made, and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as I am in a position to do so.
