HC Deb 02 December 1890 vol 349 c349
MR. JOHN MORLEY (Newcastle-upon-Tyne)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what amount of the £10,000,000 voted for Land Purchase in Ireland now remains unappropriated?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, Manchester, E.)

I have not yet received a specific Report on this question. The latest figures before me represent the position on October 31, 1890. The balance of the £10,000,000 available at that date for further applications was £1,659,022.

MR. J. MORLEY

How much is left unsanctioned?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The amount applied for was £9,355,919. If from that you deduct the £1,014,941 refused you get £8,340,978, which leaves for further appropriation £1,659,022.
