§ Mr. J. Wilmotasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware of the long delays in the payment of wages for overtime worked by temporary members of the Admiralty staff, and that hardship is being caused thereby as they must depend on this money to meet the additional burdens placed on them by evacuation?
§ Mr. ChurchillI regret that there has been some delay in settling claims for overtime owing to exceptional pressure on the section concerned. I trust that arrangements which are now being made will be successful in preventing such delays in future.
