HC Deb 20 July 1910 vol 19 c1399W
Mr. KIRKWOOD

asked the Secretary for War whether, in the case of men who were employed at Shoeburyness on the day of His late Majesty's funeral, only those who had been in the employment of the Government for six months received a day's pay; if so, whether he will reconsider the question with the view to making the same allowance to all those whom they employed at that place who lost a day's pay in consequence of the general mourning?

Mr. HALDANE

The casual labourers of under six months service to whom the hon. Member's question refers will receive pay for this day provided that they did a week's continuous work between 15th and 25th May, absence from work on the 20th not counting as a break. Instructions to this effect are being issued.
