§ MR. STAVELEY-HILL (Staffordshire, Kingswinford)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state the amount spent in the various unions in the acquisition and improvement of land by the Congested Districts Board.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The expenditure of the Congested Districts Board is not recorded by unions. I may, however, refer the hon. Member to the last Annual Report of the Board (Cd. 3767, of 1907). In Appendices 31 and 32 he will find detailed abstracts of the Board's expenditure on estate improvement works and the purchase of estates.
