§ MR. P. A. M'HUGH (Leitrim, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Board of Works have advanced a sum of £55 on the security of his farm to a tenant named James Fox, Aughavanny, on the Tottenham Estate, County Leitrim; can he state how much has been repaid to the Board of Works on account of this loan; how much still is due to the Board of Works; and by whom have the instalments of principal and interest been paid to the Board since the eviction of Fox in 1892.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe loan of £55 was advanced in 1883 to Charles Fox. The repayments amount to £23 18s. 11d. No further payment has been made since 1892. The balance has not been remitted as against the borrower.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYHas the right hon. Gentleman taken the Board of Works under his charge?
§ MR. WYNDHAMIf the hon. Member means that the Question should have been answered by the Secretary to the Treasury, I may explain that the information was sent to me, and I therefore replied.
