HC Deb 26 March 1919 vol 114 cc403-4
56. Major M'LEAN

asked the Secretary of State for War if his attention has been drawn to the employment of Royal Engineers in building operations at Chepstow; and if these men receive allowances to bring their wages up to those earned by boys of fourteen and fifteen years of age who are reported to earn over £3 a week?

Mr. FORSTER

My attention has not previously been called to the matter. I am having inquiries made, and will inform the hon. and gallant Member of the result.
