§ Mr. MacNEILLasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware of the great inconvenience caused by the delay in the payment of their salaries to the clerks of sub-committees of local pension committees in Ireland; that in one case a clerk who has been working since 1st October, 1908, has as yet received no payment, although his account was furnished on 31st December; and whether steps will be taken to secure punctual payment to the clerks of these sub-committees?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI would refer the hon. Member to my answer to a similar question put by the hon. Member for Kilkenny City on Monday, the 1st ultimo, to which I have nothing to add.
