§ Mr. CROOKSasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is aware that the order for the payment of arrears of war bonuses to single men who served with the colours is not being observed in the case of labourers on clerical duties, storemen, etc., at Woolwich; and whether he will give instructions for the application of the order to all these classes?
§ Mr. LONGThe order to which I presume the hon. Member refers relates to the payments to be made to men employed in other than the clerical classes. I am afraid it is not possible to extend the application of the instruction in question in the way the hon. Member suggests.
