HC Deb 06 May 1884 vol 287 cc1475-6
MR. O'SULLIVAN

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Whether it is a fact that, on the 1st of November in each year, a list of unpaid dividends is prepared and made out by the official assignee of the Irish Bankruptcy Court, showing the names of the different parties entitled to those dividends; and, if so, what valid objection there is to publishing that list in the Dublin papers, so that creditors may be made aware of the dividends due to them?

MR. COURTNEY

A list is annually prepared, showing the items transferred to the unclaimed dividend account in the previous year. The suggestion of the hon. Member will be duly considered when we are in a position to decide upon this Question.

MR. O'SULLIVAN

asked what became of the interest that accumulated upon this fund?

MR. COURTNEY

I am not in a position to answer that Question.
