HC Deb 27 May 1909 vol 5 c1468W
Mr. WHITEHEAD

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in connection with the excavations now being made near Purfleet, in Essex, for the proposed new range, the contractors, Messrs. Kirk and Randall, have entered into sub-contracts, and the sub-contractors are paying less than the standard rate of wages; if so, whether this has his sanction and is in accordance with the terms of the contract between the War Office and Messrs. Kirk and Randall?

Mr. HALDANE

Inquiry is being made into this matter.
