asked the Minister of Labour how many officers temporarily or permanently employed in his Department are in receipt of pensions or other allowances from the State exceeding the sum of £250 per year, and the salary such persons are receiving in the positions they at present occupy either as temporary or permanent officers?

So far as I am aware, apart from salary, no officer of the Department is in receipt of a pension or other allowance from the State which exceeds the stun of 250 per annum. There is, however, one officer employed by my Department who is in receipt of a pension from Colonial Funds of approximately £300 per annum.
