asked the Minister for Defence whether he has had inquiries made (as promised by him during the debate on the Appropriation Bill on the 30th July) regarding the claim of Mr. Samuel L'Amie for payment for 466 hours worked as a tailor in Newbridge Barracks, and whether he will give orders that this man be paid his wages, so long overdue, at once.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - A TAILOR'S CLAIM.
Mr. L'Amie's claim has been under consideration, and it has been decided to pay him as a civilian employee at the local standard rate for a tailor at Newbridge. Application has been made to Mr. L'Amie for the return of a time book in which is recorded the number of hours worked and the nature of the work performed by him. As soon as this book is received the claim will be settled.
