§ MR. BRODRICK (Surrey, Guildford)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is now in a position to lay upon the Table the Revised Estimate of the Revenue of the Irish Government under the Government of Ireland Bill, and of the Irish Customs Receipts, promised by him on 27th April; and, if not, whether he will fix a date for giving this information to the House?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir W. HARCOURT,) DerbyI am unable to say when the Revised Estimates of the Revenue of the Irish Government under the Government of Ireland Bill will be laid upon the Table of the House, but I will try and get it ready as soon as possible.
§ MR. BRODRICKSeeing the important character of these figures, cannot the right hon. Gentleman fix any date when they will be ready?
§ SIR W. HARCOURTI am afraid I cannot. They shall be given as soon as possible.
