HC Deb 05 December 1922 vol 159 c1535W
Mr. WIGNALL

asked the Financial Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the fact that in many cases where ships are sold to be broken up the rates of wages paid to the men employed are below the standard, he will consider the advisability of including in the conditions of sale the terms of the Fair Wages Clause?

Commander EYRES-MONSELL

Whenever the contract definitely provides for breaking-up the usual Fair Wages Clause is inserted in the conditions of sales of ships.
