§ 17. Mr. F. Andersonasked the Secretary of State for War the result of his inquiries into the wage conditions of the auxiliary constabulary employed at Royal Ordnance Factories.
§ Captain MargessonI regret that I am not yet in a position to make a statement on this question, which involves a number of difficult considerations. It is hoped that a decision will be reached shortly.
§ Mr. AndersonWhat does the right hon. and gallant Gentleman mean by "shortly"?
§ Captain MargessonI am afraid I cannot be more precise. I recognise that there has been considerable delay, but a number of difficult considerations are involved.
§ Mr. AndersonIs the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that there is very serious discontent among various auxiliary policemen at not getting what they regard as a fair practical Wage?
