§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Chief Secretary whether the increase of salary or the war bonus asked by the Irish national school teachers, in common with other large classes of public servants, has been 969W or will be conceded; and, if so, whether it will be retrospective to the date from which increase or bonus has been paid to other public servants?
§ Mr. DUKEThe Treasury has agreed that a war bonus shall be granted to Irish teachers on the same scale as though they were Civil servants of the Crown. The question of the date on which the bonus should take effect is under consideration.
