HC Deb 30 March 1911 vol 23 c1524
Mr. MacVEAGH

asked the expenditure for Post Office stores required for use in Ireland during each of the past ten years, and the value of the stores purchased each year from Irish contractors during the same period?

Mr. SAMUEL

The compilation of the Return asked for by the hon. Member even for the last five years wall take some little time, but, if he is willing that it should be so limited, I will have it prepared for that period, and will send it to him. To obtain the information for the previous five years would entail very considerable expense.
