HC Deb 23 April 1914 vol 61 c1127W
Sir RICHARD COOPER

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office what was the actual expenditure on wages in the Army Ordnance Factory in 1913–14, for which the sum of £1,265,000 was provided in the Estimates; and how many of those regularly employed were paid at a rate of less than 23s. a week, and how many of those regularly employed earned less than 23s. a week on the average, distinguishing between those who worked overtime and those who worked full time or less?

Mr. BAKER

The answer to the first part of the question is £1,239,031. As regards the second and third parts, I assume the hon. Member is not asking for details of boys' wages, and the answer to both parts, on that assumption, is none.
