HC Deb 16 November 1916 vol 87 c1000W
Mr. FARRELL

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he will state the reason of the delay in making the promised increase in the pay of the Irish prison warders; whether the war bonus has yet been paid or not; and whether he is aware that this deferring of the fulfilment of promises made to these men is creating discontent in the service?

Mr. DUKE

I would refer to my reply of to-day to the questions of the hon. Members for Queen's County (Leix) and Sligo North. The payment of war bonus has already come into operation.
