§ MR. J. MACVEAGHI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, having regard to the fact that the Government is the chief user of Carrickfergus Harbour, County Antrim, but pays nothing to the upkeep of the harbour, he will consider the possibility of relieving the ratepayers by taking over the Dublin loan at 3¼ per cent., the interest paid on the London loan, instead of 4 per cent., the amount now paid on the Dublin loan; if not, whether the Treasury will state what course they are prepared to adopt by means of which the ratepayers might be relieved from the higher rate of interest; and whether, if the Dublin loan be paid off by the local authorities, the Treasury will rearrange the London loan to forty years at 3¼ per cent.
§ MR. CHARLES HOBHOUSEI have nothing to add to the replies recently given by my predecessor on this subject.
§ MR. J. MACVEAGHIs the hon. Gentleman aware that this is an entirely different Question?
§ MR. CHARLES HOBHOUSEI am not.
§ MR. J. MACVEAGHI will put it down again, and then the hon. Gentleman can compare the two.
