§ 28. Mr. DENNISONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is aware that the North-West Rivet, Bolt, and Nut Factory, Limited, Airdrie, Lanarkshire, has decided to apply a revised piecework wages price list to employés engaged as nut-cutters without the consent of the latter or their trade unions; and, as the company, which is engaged on Admiralty contracts, is thus infringing the Fair Wages Clause, will he inquire into the matter with a view to removing this firm from the list of Admiralty contractors?
§ Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAMI have no information as regards the first part of the question. If full details are furnished by the trades unions or the employés concerned of any specific breach of the Fair Wages Clause and of the particular contract involved, inquiry will be made.
