HC Deb 09 May 1901 vol 93 cc1169-70
MR. LOUGH

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Returns granted on the 19th March with regard to Irish taxation will be furnished before the Committee stage of the Finance Bill is taken.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

The ordinary Returns cannot be compiled in final form for some little time to come, the accounts relating to both revenue and expendit re not having been finally adjusted. But it is hoped to present to the House almost immediately some provisional figures which will probably serve the purposes of hon. Members.
