Supply. — [4TH Allotted Day.]: MR. Long's Statement. (12 Mar 1919)

Sir Clement Kinloch-Cooke: ..., if I may be allowed to say so, and the pay of the men in the dockyards has risen proportionately.

Orders of the Day — Statement by DR. Addison. ( 7 Apr 1919)

Mr Noel Billing: ...in the direction of any particular class. I submit that there are classes in this country which to-day are even in a more precarious and unfortunate position than those who actually draw a weekly wage.

Pensions for Mothers. ( 8 Apr 1919)

Unfortunately, children are too often looked upon as a sort of byproduct, and it is considered by some people that the main work of the women is to go out, perhaps, to earn a miserable wage or, at any rate, to follow some occupation in life other than the bringing up of her children. In the case of widows and deserted mothers, and mothers whose husbands are in prison, it is very...
