Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, if the inquiries into the alleged inadequacy of pay of the men employed in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh, are now complete; and whether an answer can now be given to the men's petition for an increase of pay?
§ Mr. WEDGWOOD BENNThe inquiries, which have been somewhat extended owing to the variety of grades concerned, will, it is hoped, be completed very shortly.
