§ Mr. SEDDONasked the Minister of Labour whether the several advances in wages to colliery works includes colliery clerks and out-door staff?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANMy right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. Colliery clerks and out-door staffs have not received the advances in wages given to colliery workers in general, but the Coal Controller has authorised the payment of a war bonus by colliery companies to members of their clerical staffs in receipt of a salary of £500 or under.
