§ Mr. FALLEasked the Secretary to the Admiralty if he is aware that the men working for contractors in His Majesty's dockyards are not in receipt of war bonus; and if it is proposed to grant these men a war bonus from Admiralty funds or in some other way satisfy the men?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe Admiralty is directly responsible for the payments made to its own employés only, which payments do include a war bonus. So far as the employés of contractors are concerned, the duty of the Admiralty is to see that wages are paid in accordance with the contract. If my hon. Friend can call my attention to any specific case of failure in this respect, I will have the matter inquired into.
