HC Deb 06 March 1918 vol 103 cc2013-4W
Captain SHEEHAN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if any steps have been taken to secure better salaries for officers of committees of agriculture and technical instruction in Ireland?

Mr. SAMUELS

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer I gave to his question of the 27th February.

Captain SHEEHAN

asked what steps have been taken to bring a pension scheme into force for whole-time officers of committees of agriculture and technical instruction in Ireland?

Mr. SAMUELS

Before the War a superannuation scheme for the officers referred to was prepared, and a Bill has been drafted to give effect to the scheme. Owing to the outbreak of the War the introduction of the Bill has been deferred.
