§ MR. NANNETTII beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will 1197 state the reason for the delay which annually takes place in publishing the statistical tables of the Dublin Metropolitan Police; and whether, having regard to the fact that similar statistics in connection with the city of Glasgow are published in February, he will secure an earlier publication of the Dublin statistics in future; also if he will cause to be inserted in the Report for 1901 and in all future Reports, the salaries paid to the chief commissioner, assistant commissioner, and other officers and men as set forth in the annual report of the chief constable of Glasgow, and also the sums contributed by the Corporation and Treasury respectively for the maintenance of the force.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe police statistics for Dublin have been published annually about May. If it be possible to publish them earlier, this will be done. I cannot, however, give any undertaking in the matter. The information referred to in the second part of the Question is given in the Estimates which are yearly presented to Parliament.
§ MR. NANNETTICan the right hon. Gentleman answer the last paragraph?
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe information will I think, be found in the Estimates. I will consider if it can be given in a more convenient form.
