HC Deb 10 December 1912 vol 45 c249
68. Mr. VINCENT KENNEDY

asked the Secretary to the Treasury with reference to the sum of £727,655 voted in 1911 towards paying rates in Ireland under the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898, how much was allocated to the payment of half the poor rate which before the passing of the said Act was paid by land and house owners in Ireland, distinguishing the amount allocated in respect of each of the latter?

Mr. MASTERMAN

This question should be addressed to the Irish Office.

Mr. VINCENT KENNEDY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Irish Office have refused me the information, although they have it?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The hon. Member had better put the question again.
