HC Deb 21 October 1941 vol 374 cc1603-4
17. Mr. Anderson

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the War Department Constabulary Auxiliary, stationed at Royal Ordnance factories, are only paid at a flat rate of £5 per week, plus war bonus of 10s. of 48 hours consisting of six shifts, which include Sundays, with extra time payment only made at the ordinary rate; and will he take immediate action to bring the rates of pay up to the general standards operating in Royal Ordnance factories?

Captain Margesson

I am at present looking into this question.

Mr. Anderson

Will a reply be sent to me?

Captain Margesson

Yes, Sir, when my inquiries are completed.

Mr. Anderson

When may we expect that to be?

Captain Margesson

I am doing my best to expedite the reply.
