HC Deb 19 February 1930 vol 235 cc1402-3W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the number of established dockyardmen who, on their jobs becoming redundant, have been die-missed and re-engaged for service in an inferior grade and at a reduced wage during each of the past five years?

Mr. G. HALL

To ascertain the number of established men who have accepted employment in a lower grade, as the alternative to discharge on reduction, during each of the last five years would involve more work in a detailed investigation at the dockyards than the circumstances seem to warrant.
