HC Deb 07 March 1893 vol 9 c1242
MR. SEYMOUR KEAY

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury what was the total amount of Imperial grants for local purposes in Ireland voted by Parliament, and issued under the authority of "The Appropriation Act, 1892?"

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

If the hon. Member refers to the grants for local purposes for 1892–3 as set out in the Purchase of Land Act, 1891, Section 5 (1) b, the provision voted under the several heads amounts to £1,006,326, made up as follows:—Rates, £33,000; Model Schools and National Schools, £744,995; Industrial Schools, £11,418; Workhouse Schools, Poor Law Medical Grants, and Health Officers, £99,700; Pauper Lunatics, £117,213. The Treasury cannot say how much of this, being payable to towns, is not applicable to the contingent portion of the Guarantee Fund under the Act.
