§ MR. FLOWER (Bradford, W.)On behalf of the honourable Member for North Camberwell I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, if he will state the grounds upon which two abstractors in the Irish Land Commission have been exceptionally granted an annual increment of £5?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI am informed that the clerks of the abstractor class attached, to the Land Commission receive increments in accordance with the regulations, and that none of these officials now serving in the Department have been exceptionally treated as regards increment.
