HC Deb 14 March 1893 vol 10 c29
MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Government has issued instructions to the Board of Works and all other Departments in Ireland to have the fair wages resolution of the House of Commons practically enforced in respect to all contracts now being entered into.

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. T. HIBBERT,) Oldham

As I have before stated, the Board of Works in Ireland provide in all new contracts for compliance with the terms of the Resolution of 13th February 1891. As regards Departments which are not under the control of the Treasury, I am afraid I am not in a position to answer the question.
