HC Deb 05 July 1900 vol 85 c640
MR. FLAVIN

I beg to ask the Chief, Secretary to the Lord. Lieutenant of Ireland whether he state what amount, if any, of the money voted by Parliament,, namely, £1,000,000, for building light, railways in Ireland, is now available for that purpose, and also what amount, if any, is now available out of the £250,000' voted for free grants.

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

The figures are not accurately stated in the question,, but I may observe that, none of the money provided by Parliament for the construction of light railways in Ireland is now available for further railway projects.
