asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has received a complaint against the firm of Messrs. Alfred Robinson, of Idle, Bradford, who are carrying out a contract at the barracks at Sheffield, alleging that the firm is not paying the proper rate for overtime, and that labourers are doing the work of skilled artisans; and, if so, whether he has made any inquiries into the complaint, and will state the result of them?

The complaint is being investigated, and my hon. Friend shall be informed as soon as a decision can be arrived at.
