Colonel THORNEasked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is aware that men employed at the Royal Naval Ordnance Depot, near Stirling, who live more than three miles from their work, are not receiving the 6d. per day inconvenience money which is paid to men similarly situated at Rosyth, Crombie, and Invergordon; and whether he will make inquiries into this matter?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe 6d. per day "inconvenience" money referred to in my hon. Friend's question was authorised for workmen employed at Rosyth and Crombie 1869W who are compelled to reside more than three miles from the Admiralty establishments at those places. Inquiries are being made in order that it may be determined whether the circumstances warrant the payment of this allowance also to their workmen employed at Bandeath. I will communicate later with my hon. Friend.
