HC Deb 12 July 1917 vol 95 cc2130-1W
Mr. BYRNE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he is aware that labourers at remount depots in Dublin have received only one war bonus of 3s. since the outbreak of war; if he is aware that in no Department in Ireland the increase in wages has equalled by one-half the increase in the cost of living; and if he will state the Government's proposals in this matter?

Mr. FORSTER

Bonuses to a total of 7s. a week have been authorised for War Department labourers in Dublin.
