HC Deb 17 July 1919 vol 118 cc624-5W
Mr. E. KELLY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that before the Irish railways were taken over Mr. T. Molloy was paid 25s. a week by the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway Company as canvasser; that in March, 1917, he was sent to Newmills as stationmaster at 15s. a week, and that the only accommodation provided is one small room; and does the company maintain that this room is worth 10s. weekly?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I am afraid that I cannot add to the letters which my right hon. Friend addressed to the hon. Gentleman on this matter on the 8th and 29th April, in the latter of which he pointed out that Mr. Molloy's earnings, including war wages, amounted to 48s. weekly, and that living accommodation had, in addition, been specially provided for him at Newmills Station.
