HC Deb 09 October 1912 vol 42 c357W
Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he has received the report of the inspector sent to report on the deductions made from wages by the owners of the St. Thomas Collar Factory, Exeter; and what was the nature thereof?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The case has been investigated and the report is in the hands of the Commission. It appears that the charge of 1½d. is an agreed payment by the employés in connection with the clearing up of the factory.
