asked the Minister for Transport and Power if he will state the number of male workers (excluding clerical workers) in receipt of wages of between £4. 10s. and £7 per week employed (a) by his Department and (b) by each State or semi-State body which is under the aegis of his Department, the total thereof, and the total wages so paid in 1959, indicating separately the amounts paid by his Department and by each State or semi-State body; and if he will indicate the categories of workers so employed in each case.
Written Answers. - Workers Employed by Department of Transport and Power.
51.
The number of full-time male workers other than clerical workers in receipt of wages between £4. 10s. 0d. and £7 per week employed by this Department is two. Their wages in 1959 amounted to £640 approximately. Both are labourers.
The information sought in respect of State or semi-State bodies relates to the day-to-day administration of these bodies and is, therefore, a matter on which any enquiries should be made direct to the bodies concerned by the Deputy.
