HC Deb 18 April 1910 vol 16 c1692
Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he proposes to divert the money which was to have been used in relieving the Poor Law disqualification in respect of old age pensions to financing land purchase in Ireland?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd-George)

No, Sir.

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

Has the right hon. Gentleman's attention been called to a statement recently made at Athlone by the hon. Member (Mr. Dillon) in which he said he had good reason to believe that the money was going to be so diverted?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I have nothing to add to the answer I have given.

Mr. LONSDALE

Was that a breach of confidence on the part of the hon. Member?
