HC Deb 21 May 1901 vol 94 c780
MR. LUNDON

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he will say how much of the thirty millions of money to be expended on the purchase of lands in Ireland under the Land Purchase Act of 1891 was allocated to the county of Limerick, how much of that sum has been expended and how much remains over; and will he lay upon the Table of the House a statement of the various sums set apart for the different counties and how they now stand, and what dispositions have up to this been made of those moneys.

MR. WYNDHAM

At the request of my hon. friend, I will reply to this question. The capital value of the share of county Limerick in the cash and contingent portions of the guarantee fund under the Act of 1891 represents a sum of £1,361,136. The total issues in the county to the 1st instant have been £510,000. A Return such as indicated in the question will be laid upon the Table.
