Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that other casual workers at the docks, such as ship workers, are only asked to sign on twice a week, while the casual docker is expected to sign, and has to pay tram fares to and from his home, twice a day? Cannot some arrangement be made whereby the same principle shall apply to dock workers as to ship workers?
