Oral Answers to Questions — Royal Navy. – in the House of Commons at on 6 March 1935.
Mr William Leonard
, Glasgow St Rollox
asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is making inquiries into the complaint from Greenock that Messrs. Hamilton and Messrs. Lithgow, contractors to the Admiralty, are not observing the fair-wages Clause in the treatment of apprentice electric welders?
The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Lord Stanley):
I understand that a strike of apprentice electrical welders has been in progress since the 4th February, and I am asking the Greenock Trades Council for further information about the recognised conditions of the industry. It is, however, contrary to the practice of the Admiralty to intervene in a labour dispute when a strike is proceeding.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
