asked the Minister for Defence whether he is aware that labourers employed by his Department with the Supply and Transport Corps in Clancy Barracks are in receipt of only £4 11s. per week, a rate which is far below that paid to building labourers; and if so, whether he will favourably consider granting to the workers concerned at least the rate paid to pioneers, which is £5 5s. per week.

I am aware that the labourers employed with the Supply and Transport Corps in Clancy Barracks are in receipt of wages at the rate of £4 11s. per week. The matter is, however, at present under consideration in my Department.
