HC Deb 19 June 1935 vol 303 c372W
Mr. D. WILLIAMS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is now able to state the result of the investigation into the alleged failure of the engineering firm, Messrs. James Keith and Blackman, Limited, of Arbroath, Scotland, to observe the fair wages regulation in Admiralty contracts and the fact that continuity of employment of their old employés is made conditional on their leaving their trade organisation, of which some have been members for many years?

Sir V. WARRENDER

This complaint is being investigated on the spot by the Admiralty's representative. I hope that a decision will be reached in the course of the next few days, when I will communicate it to the hon. Member.
