HC Deb 01 May 1918 vol 105 cc1556-7W
Captain CAR R-GOMM

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour whether, in the event of the arbitrators deciding in favour of an increase in the wages of employ és of the Port of London Authority, the effect of the Proclamation will be that the Port of London Authority must pay the wages decided by the arbitrators forthwith?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

The effect of the Proclamation referred to is to bring the difference and the award under the Munitions of War Acts, 1915. Awards under Sub-section (3) of Section 1 of that Act are binding upon both employers and employed.
