HC Deb 07 August 1883 vol 282 c1847
MR. BIGGAR

asked the President of the Board of Trade, If it is the case that keepers of Irish lighthouses are paid on a lower scale than persons in similar employment in England; and, if so, can he give any reason for the difference?

MR. CHAMBERLAIN

, in reply, said, the hon. Member for Cavan (Mr. Biggar) must have been misinformed if he thought that keepers of Irish lighthouses were paid on a lower scale than persons in similar employment in England. The scale of pay was the same under the three Lighthouse Boards.
