HC Deb 18 July 1867 vol 188 c1668
MR. READ

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, When the compensation voted by the House for the owners of cattle slaughtered by the Government Inspectors between August and November 1865, will be paid?

MR. HUNT

said, that a great deal of the money had already been paid, and it rested with the local authorities to examine these claims and substantiate them. When that had been done, and the claims were sent in to the Treasury, payment was made immediately.

MR. READ

said, that the claims from Norfolk had been sent in for the last two months.

MR. HUNT

said, he had not seen them, but he would make inquiries.
