§ Mr. CLYNESasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can make any definite announcement concerning the long-standing wage question of the storehouse clerks; and whether any order referring to their titles and classifying the men will deprive persons who are employed entirely in clerical duties of any privilege previously possessed?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe wages of this class have been raised, as from 1st April last, from the scale 24s. to 26s. to the scale 26s. to 28s. This decision was promulgated on 7th April last. The title was changed at the same time from "storehouse clerk" to "storeman," but this change will not affect the privileges of the men in any way.
