HC Deb 15 July 1920 vol 131 cc2617-8W
Mr. WIGNALL

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware of the unrest existing among the dock workers in East Anglia in consequence of a number of men being employed by the Army Service Corps in handling, pressing, and unloading hay in sheds or docks and quays who are being paid less than the 16s. minimum which should be operating from 10th May last in accordance with the national agreement; and if he will take steps to see that all men employed on this work are paid the full rate of wages?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I have received communications from the Dock, Wharf, Riverside, and General Workers' Union in regard to the case of their members in the employ of the Army Service Corps in the East Anglia district, and am in communication with the War Office on the matter.
