HC Deb 08 August 1904 vol 139 c1366
MR. LONSDALE

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state who was the official whose action prevented the recovery of the charges for extra police from the counties of Sligo, Cavan, Clare, Fermanagh, Galway, Leitrim, Roscommon, Tipperary, and Waterford, and consequently entailed a loss of over £7,000 to the Exchequer.

MR. WYNDHAM

I have more than once stated that the Law Officers had advised there was no legal power to recover the charges in question.

MR. LONSDALE

Will the right hon. Gentleman give the name of the Law Officers?

MR. WYNDHAM

My hon. friend must know their names.
