§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, seeing 1507W that the cost of living is the same for all employés serving in the Bermuda Dockyard under agreement and that the men buy their commodities from the same stores, he will arrange for all employés, including tradesmen, serving at this dockyard to be included in the recent additional rise in the Colonial allowance?
Mr. ALEXANDERThe allowances of the agreement workmen at Bermuda have been reviewed in the light of the extra expenses which they have necessarily to incur on account of service at that dockyard, and an increase in their allowances has been granted as a result of the review.
