HC Deb 03 November 1937 vol 328 cc908-9
31. Mr. R. Beaumont

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he has considered the representations made to him with regard to the wages of surgery assistants in the Royal Dockyards; and what decision he has arrived at regarding the matter?

Mr. Cooper

The Board have been unable to accede to the claim for an increase in the wages of surgery assistants and the question of referring this claim to arbitration by the Industrial Court is under consideration.
