HC Deb 10 November 1921 vol 148 c639W
Mr. HAYDAY

asked the Minister of Labour what are the rates of wages paid or proposed to be paid to ex-service men being engaged in this country for employment in the devastated areas in France?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I have no official information on this matter, but I understand that the rates in the case of the men sent out by the British Legion are 2 francs 25 centimes per hour for skilled men, and 1 franc 85 centimes for unskilled men, these being stated to be the trade union rates.
