HC Deb 15 December 1911 vol 32 cc2816-7W
Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can give the date when the order was issued to the dockyards that men of yard craft when in naval hospital would be checked 5s. 3d. per week instead of 10s. 6d. as formerly?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The order in question was issued on 3rd May, 1911. The lower rate, however, applies only to those men who have received injuries in the course of their employment, and are placed on the hurt list; 10s. 6d. a week is still abated in the case of men in a naval hospital on the sick list.
