Mr. T. WILSONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he is 1247W aware that the Rosyth Brick Manufacturing Company, who are supplying bricks at His Majesty's dockyard, Rosyth, are paying their joiners and labourers at a considerably lower rate than the rate current in the district. and whether he will take steps to compel this firm to observe the provisions of the fair wages clause?
Mr. HOPEA preliminary inquiry has been made into this case, but I am not prepared to make a statement until I have received further information.
