HC Deb 18 November 1920 vol 134 cc2109-10W
Mr. WIGNALL

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that considerable unrest exists at the Royal Naval Colleges at Dartmouth and Greenwich in consequence of the Admiralty not paying to the workpeople employed there the increase of wages awarded by the industrial court on 28th September, 1920, which award entitles the workpeople to retrospective increases of 2s. 6d. per week on and from 1st June, 1920, and a further 3s. per week as from the date of the award; is he aware that, notwithstanding repeated applications, the advance in wages has not been paid; and whether he will take such steps as may be necessary to carry out the award of the industrial court?

Sir J. CRAIG

I am glad to be able to say that orders are now being issued to give effect to the award.
