§ MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether in the case of public companies (whose offices are registered in London, but many of whose shareholders are Irish) which pay the Income Tax on dividends for their shareholders, such Income Tax, as far as it relates to Irish shareholders, will be credited to the Irish Exchequer, under the provisions of the Government of Ireland Bill?
§ SIR J. T. HIBBERTAny such receipts in respect of Income Tax as are contemplated in the question will not, under the proposed Financial Clauses, be credited to the Irish Exchequer, but a reference to Parliamentary Paper No. 337 will show that they are taken into account in estimating Ireland's contribution to Imperial Expenditure.
