Mr. BELLasked the Secretary of State for War whether hs is aware that the carpenters and joiners employed in the Army Ordnance and National Aircraft Salvage Depôt, No. 3, Aintree, are not receiving the standard rate for the district, notwithstanding his reply on 15th December, 1919; and whether he will expedite instructions for payment of the increased rate?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONThe National Aircraft Salvage Depôt is under the Ministry of Munitions, and the reply given on the 15th December should have been limited to the Army Ordnance Depôt. I am assured that the men in question at the latter depôt are being paid the increased rate.
