HC Deb 29 July 1918 vol 109 cc65-6W
Major Sir S. SCOTT

asked the Minister of Munitions whether he can state, approximately, the maximum and minimum amount of the wages earned weekly by skilled munition workers in the various trades?

Mr. KELLAWAY

The information desired by the hon. Member does not at present exist in any precise form. It would involve very considerable labour to obtain the information in respect of the very large number of trades and of classes of skilled workers engaged in each trade, and I do not feel that, with the pressure of work in the Department, we should be justified in casting this further burden upon it.
