§ Mr. HARRISON-BROADLEYasked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the fact that the wages paid to labourers occupied at the Army Ordnance Factory, near Selby, Yorks, are at a lower rate than the rate prescribed by the Resolution of the House of Commons of 10th March, 1909; and whether there is any reason why these labourers should not receive a minimum wage of 6d. per hour, especially in view of the fact that their occupation is of a dangerous character?

§ Mr. HAROLD BAKERThe wages of these men have recently been increased, and I am not aware that they are now not in accordance with the Resolution of this House. I shall be happy to consider any evidence to that effect that may be given me by the hon. Member.
