§ Mr. FIELDasked the President of the Board of Trade if he can state the weekly rate of wages paid to tailors in Dublin who are employed under trade union conditions?
§ Mr. H. J. TENNANTThere is no standard weekly rate of wages in the tailoring trade. The log or list rates in Dublin are 5d. and 5½d. per hour. According to the 357W log a certain number of hours are allowed for making each part of a garment or for each operation; and if the worker takes more or less than this time his actual earnings are correspondingly greater or less than the nominal rate per hour.
