§ MR. HADDOCKI bog to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state why, in Civil Service Estimates, Class 3, Vote 14, page 307, a new allowance to the Irish Attorney-General, for clerk £100, appears.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. BIRRELL, Bristol, N.)The allowance in question has been added to the Estimates because the Government are satisfied of the necessity for affording 83 clerical assistance to the Attorney-General for Ireland. The amount is very much less than is voted for similar services to the English and Scottish Law officers.
