§ MR. GIBSONasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, How soon will the Return, showing the present financial position of the Irish Church Temporalities Commission, be distributed; and, will the Return show in an intelligible form the amount of all the liabilities on one side, and all the assets on the other, with an approximate valuation of such assets?
§ MR. COURTNEYThe Return is now in the printer's hands, and, as far as the Treasury goes, it will be ready for distribution at the end of the present week. The Return will show the incomings and outgoings under present arrangements as they may be estimated for successive years in the future, and in this form will present an intelligible and trustworthy view of the situation of the Church Fund. I shall be ready to confer with my right hon. and learned Friend as to any supplemental information that may appear to him desirable.
§ MR. GIBSONasked if there would be any attempt made to put a value on the assets?
§ MR. COURTNEYsaid, the income would be shown in each successive year from this time forward, and in a corresponding way it would show the outgoings.
