HC Deb 20 September 1909 vol 11 c15
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has made any separate estimate of the addition which the administration of the Finance Bill, assuming it to become law, will make to the general cost of civil administration in Ireland; and, if so, what is the estimated annual increase, and what are the principal items that make it up?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I am afraid I am not in a position to give the estimate which the hon. Member asks.
