HC Deb 30 May 1918 vol 106 cc993-4W
Major HUNT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether any interned Germans employed at an aerodrome at Leighterstone, near Tetbury, Gloucestershire, are getting Is. 1d. an. hour; whether some of the British men there are only getting 10½d. an hour; and, if so, what is the reason of this difference?

Mr. FORSTER

The pay varies with the skill. Interned aliens employed receive the same rate of pay as the British civilian for the same quality of work.
