§ MR. MOONEY (Newry)I beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether the Government have yet settled what grant is to be made by the Treasury for the encouragement of horse-breeding for Army remount purposes in accordance with the recent announcements made by Lord Carrington; and, if so, whether he can state what part Ireland is to take in this scheme and what share of the fund is to be allocated to Ireland.
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. J. A. PEASE,) Essex, Saffron WaldenNo decision has yet been arrived at in this matter, and it is therefore premature to consider any question as to the allocation of the grant.
§ MR. MOONEYWill there be a separate grant for Ireland?
§ MR. J. A. PEASEThe matter is now the subject of discussion between Government Departments; I can say no more at present.
