§ Mr. FORSTERI am afraid that the War Department cannot deal exceptionally with Dublin in the matter of further war bonus.
§ Mr. FIELDasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he can state the number of employés in the Army Ordnance Department, Dublin, employed in a civil capacity who have not received promotion or war bonus since July, 1914?
