§ 15. Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office on what ground the Report of the Trade Board Inspector with respect to certain rates of wages in the Royal Army Clothing Department is regarded as confidential; whether the Report is to be accepted: if not, for what reason whether he is aware that box porters in the Royal Army Clothing Department are designated as such because they work in partitioned compartments, and that they perform the duties customarily carried out by warehousemen elsewhere?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Captain King)As regards the first part of the question, the Report of a Trade Board Inspector belongs to a class of documents which it is. not considered in the public interest to. disclose. As regards the remaining parts of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to my answer of 15th July.
