§ CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the 82 War Office whether, in view of the increase in wages granted by the Admiralty to the dockyard labourers at Haul-bowline, the War Office will favourably consider the case of the labourers in the Ordnance Department at Haulbowline, whose scale of pay still remains at 16s. a week.
LORD STANLEYThe pay of the labourers in the Army Ordnance Department in the Cork district has been already raised to 17s. a week with effect from the 1st April, 1901.
