HC Deb 28 March 1892 vol 3 cc47-8
MR. FLYNN

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, in connection with the construction of Kinsale Pier, what was the amount of the original sum advanced by the Board of Works; if he can state at what rate was the amount to be repaid, naming principal and interest; what rate of interest was charged on the loan; and how much has been paid by the Kinsale Town and Harbour Commissioners?

* SIR J. GORST

The sum advanced was £11,352 15s. 1d.; £630 of this principal sum was repaid, leaving a balance of £10,722 15s. 1d. This sum, with £337, arrears of interest at five per cent., constitutes the total of £11,059 15s. 1d. to be repaid under the award. There has been no repayment of principal made under the award; but £700 has been paid in respect of arrears of interest.

MR. FLYNN

Will the right hon. Gentleman give me a copy of his answer, as I was not able to take down the figures?
