§ Mr. FIELDasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that a carpenter employed at Carrickfergus has been granted increased wages at the rate of 36s. a week; whether he is aware that the Dublin trades union wage is higher than that of Belfast; and whether the case of the two carpenters employed at Island Bridge will be reconsidered and these workers be granted 36s. a week as from 1st April, 1910?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe pay to the workman at Carrickfergus is for work superior to that of the ordinary carpenter. The pay of the two carpenters at Island Bridge is, therefore, not affected.
