HC Deb 30 March 1955 vol 539 cc34-5W
73. Brigadier Clarke

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty when the workers in Her Majesty's Dockyards may expect to receive the increase of wages recently granted to the shipbuilding industry; and if he will arrange for these increases to be dated back to the date of award.

Mr. Digby

Industrial employees in Her Majesty's Dockyards will receive, with effect from 14th March, a similar increase in wages to that recently granted to employees in the shipbuilding and engineering industries. Payment of the increase will, in most cases, be made on 1st April.
