HC Deb 23 December 1915 vol 77 cc621-2W
Mr. BYRNE

asked the Secretary to the Treasury if he will state the amount of money the Government subscribe from the revenue collected in Great Britain and Ireland to the English and Scottish railway companies to enable them to pay their workers a war bonus; if he can state the reasons why the same treatment is denied the Irish railway workers; and if he will take steps to treat them alike?

Mr. PRETYMAN

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. I am afraid I cannot add to the reply given on the 22nd April last to the hon. Member for Cork, of which I am sending the hon. Gentleman a copy.
