§ Lieut.-Colonel Corbettasked the Minister of Works when the services of 23 British workmen employed by his Department in Shobdon camp, Herefordshire, will be dispensed with.
§ Mr. KeyA great deal of work has to be done on this camp which contains 185 buildings and I cannot say when the services of these men will be dispensed with. After the camp has been prepared for occupation a number of men will remain to maintain it; others will use it as a base depot from which to work on other properties in the area.
§ Lieut.-Colonel Corbettasked the Minister of Works what is the highest, lowest and average wage paid by his Department to the British workmen employed at Shobdon camp.
§ Mr. KeyThe highest wage paid to a British workman at Shobdon camp is 2s. 11¾d. per hour, the lowest 2s. 2d. per hour and the average 2s. 4¾d. per hour.
