HC Deb 27 April 1910 vol 17 c453
Mr. WATT

asked, in view of the fact that in the Vote on Account passed on Thursday last £50,000 was taken for the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction in Ireland, what corresponding sum has been granted to Scotland for the above purpose?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

There is no Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction in Scotland, the analogous services, in so far as they are paid for out of moneys provided by Parliament, being distributed between several different Votes. As the provision made in the Vote on Account under these Votes is in each case in respect of the Vote generally it would not be possible, without a considerable amount of investigation, to say what proportion of the sums provided on account of these Votes will be available for the services in question.

Mr. KILBRIDE

Might I ask whether the right hon. Gentleman can say how much of this £50,000 given to the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction in Ireland is taken by Scotchmen?
