§ Mr. SPEARasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will consider the propriety of at once raising the wages of unskilled labourers in His Majesty's dockyards; and if he is aware that with heavy rents and increased cost of living it is impossible for men to fittingly maintain their families on their present wage?
§ Mr. McKENNAAccording to my present information, the conditions of employment of the men in the Royal yards are not inferior to those of men in good employment outside.
