§ Captain Pluggeasked the Minister of Shipping whether, to avoid, particularly at this juncture, prosecutions of non-Aryan seamen, such as Chinese and Fijian, he will see that in such cases the war risks bonus of £5 is granted impartially to all over and above any differential wage, since the risk run is common to all?
§ Mr. CrossRates of pay, including bonus, are not a matter for my determination. I am, however, arranging for representations which have recently been made to me as regards the bonus for Chinese seamen to be discussed with the owners concerned.
