HC Deb 29 May 1916 vol 82 cc2406-7W
Mr. BOWERMAN

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he is aware that compositors employed in the printing department of the Ordnance Office, Woolwich Arsenal, work from seven a.m. until one p.m. without a break, and from two o'clock until 5.30, 6.30, and sometimes 7.30 without a break, although the men recently petitioned the manager upon the subject; and whether he will make representations to the manager with a view to the men being allowed the necessary refreshment times?

Mr. FORSTER

I am in communication with my hon. Friend, and will let him know the result of the inquiries which I am making.
