HC Deb 24 July 1893 vol 15 c318
MR. JACKSON (Leeds, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury what is the total amount of local expenditure for Ireland included in the Estimates for 1893–4, following the classification adopted in the Returns presented to Parliament?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. T. HIBBERT,) Oldham

It is not possible at this date to give a trustworthy estimate of the local expenditure in Ireland for 1893–4, following the classification adopted in the Returus referred to; but I think it will be found that the total for 1893–4 will not be very substantially different from that for 1892–3.

MR. JACKSON

Is it more difficult to take it from the Estimates than from the Appropriation Accounts?

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

We do not know how much of the money estimated for will be spent.

MR. JACKSON

I want to know the amount included in the Estimate— not the expenditure itself?

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

The amount included in the Estimates is a little over £4,000,000.
