HC Deb 21 February 1893 vol 9 c41
MR. CLANCY (for Mr. FIELD)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Board of Works and other Government contracts for painting in Ireland were only given to firms employing Trades Union labour according to the Resolution of the House?

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

I am not aware whether the firms holding Government contracts for painting in Ireland employ Trade Union labour, but I must point out that the Resolution of the House of the 13th February, 1891, does not prescribe such a condition. Compliance with the terms of that Resolution is already being provided for by the Board of Works in all their contracts.
