§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can see his way to amend the present practice whereby established men are transferred from higher-paid lo lower-paid jobs, seeing that no injustice would be involved in allowing them to keep the higher rate of wages to which they become entitled, in view of the fact that in the Navy men receive different rates of pay for exactly the same work and the same practice of differentiation exists in the railway system?
