§ MR. DELANY (Queen's County, Ossory)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can undertake that, in case the existing salaries of Irish medical officers are raised, the Treasury recoupment in aid of those salaries shall be proportionally increased.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) DoverThis is a hypothetical Question to which no definite answer can be given. The limits within which recoupment can be made out of the local taxation account are defined by Section 58 of the Local Government Act, 1898, and Section 6 of the Amending Act of last year, to which I would refer the hon. Member.
