§ Lord CHARLES BERESFORDasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that the shipwrights employed on Whale Island have not yet received the promised increase of wages; and whether he can state when these increases of wages will be paid?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe shipwrights referred to will be paid the increased rate of wages as from 1st June, in accordance with the concessions announced on 8th May. Owing to these men not being employed with the general body of workmen there has been some little delay, but they will receive the arrears due with their wages for the current week.
