HC Deb 20 June 1906 vol 159 cc191-2
MR. FULLERTON (Cumberland, Egremont)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in order to provide additional funds for the Irish Labourers Act, he will reduce the salary of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland to £5,000, the amount received as salary in that capacity by the Lord Chancellor of England.

† See (4) Debates, clviii., 938–9.

MR. BRYCE

The Answer is in the negative.

MR. FULLERTON

Why? Are the duties more onerous in the case of the Irish Lord Chancellor than in the case of the Lord High Chancellor of England?

MR. BRYCE

That is a Question of which notice ought to be given.
