HC Deb 08 November 1916 vol 87 c228W
Mr. ANDERSON

asked the Minister of Munitions whether his attention has been drawn to the case in which a woman employed as a mica driller at a works in Chester applied to the Liverpool Munitions Tribunal for a leaving certificate on the ground that she was only receiving 10s. a week, and was practically the support of the family, her mother being a widow; whether he is aware that this sum is equal to a pre-war wage of about l1d. a day; and whether he will make investigation with a view to the fixing of fair wages?

Mr. PRIMROSE

The matter has been brought to my notice in connection with the hearing before the Liverpool Local Munitions Tribunal, and I am causing the case to be investigated.
