§ Mr. BOWERMANasked the First Lord of the Admiralty when the skilled labourers employed at the Deptford naval yard are to receive the increase of 1s. per week promised to them some time since, the payment of which, it was understood, would date from April of last year?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe scale of wages for skilled labourers at Deptford has been improved by the addition of 1s. to the minimum, maximum, and average rates. General orders on the subject were issued some weeks ago. The local officers have asked for further instructions as to certain points of detail, and these are about to be given.
