asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he has yet considered the question of granting a war-risk allowance to the personnel working on, but not forming part of the crews of yard craft, in view of the fact that an increase of pay for the masters and crews of these craft when engaged on work in dangerous areas was granted some months ago?

Yes, Sir. The personnel referred to are eligible for a war-risk allowance for each day or part of a day of 24 hours during which they are on board a yard craft in the open sea.
