§ Mr. MURNINasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that there are several men employed on the Stirling relief works scheme who have completed the probationary period of six months, but who are nevertheless still being paid only at the rate of 75 per cent. of the district rate of wages; and if he will take steps to ensure that the reduced wage rate for probationers on Government assisted works is not used as a method of breaking the district wage rate?
§ Sir M. BARLOW:I will have inquiries made in regard to the wages which are being paid in connection with the relief works mentioned, and communicate the result to the hon. Member.
