§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury why an allowance has been made to the subordinate officials in certain Offices in consideration of the increase of hours, while it has been refused to the same class in other Offices?
SIR J. GORSTAs a Committee is now considering the remuneration paid to messengers and other subordinate employees, it has been thought desirable to defer the decision upon some particular applications for additional pay for increased attendance, pending the report of the Committee.
§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNORWhy were servants in different Offices not treated in the same manner?
SIR J. GORSTIf the hon. Member will specify, either publicly or privately, the particular Offices he refers to, I will endeavour to give him some information on the subject.
