HC Deb 25 July 1907 vol 179 c138
MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will explain to what Irish account or accounts is the sum of £24,056 raised under the County Officers and Courts (Ireland) Act, 1877, credited; and how does the Treasury dispose of the sum of £2,000 received for fees and duties, and £1,632 received on account of the revision of the jurors lists under Section 21.

MR. RUNCIMAN

Of the total sum of £24,056 received under the Act of 1877, £20,424, which was received in stamps, was paid in to the Exchequer and merged in the Revenue of the year. The remaining two items of £2,000 and £1,632 respectively, which were received in cash, were appropriated in aid of the Vote for County Court Officers, etc., Ireland, as shown under Subhead H of the Estimate presented to Parliament.

MR. FLYNN

And is all the money absorbed by the Treasury and paid into no particular Irish fund?

MR. RUNCIMAN

It is merged into the revenue of the year. It is not earmarked to any particular Vote.
