§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, having regard to the fact that the unexpended balances of Votes surrendered to the Exchequer by Government Departments during the last ten years amounts to £11,613,119 19s. 9d., will he state how much of this sum represents Scottish and Irish Votes respectively.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.I fear it is impossible to show the total surrenders out of monies provided for Scottish and Irish services because a great part of this provision is included in Votes such as those for the Post Office and Inland Revenue Departments which apply to the whole of the United Kingdom and which cannot, therefore, be earmarked to particular countries.
