HC Deb 09 March 1916 vol 80 c1742W
Mr. WILLIAM YOUNG

asked the Minister of Munitions the average wage of munition workers, for men, for women, and for those on piece-work respectively; and what are their average earnings?

Dr. ADDISON

I am afraid it would be impossible to give the information asked for in this question without a statistical inquiry occupying much time and involving excessive labour both to the Department and to the owners of munition factories.
