§ 48. Mr. CASSELasked as from what date the Transferred Sum will become payable under the provisions of the Government of Ireland Bill?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe date will be fixed under Clauses 47 and 45.
§ Mr. CASSELWhat date is that?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELIt is dependent upon the date fixed for the transfer of the services to the Irish Government.
§ 49. Mr. CASSELasked the Prime Minister whether he has taken into consideration the question whether the Transferred Sum under the provisions of the Government of Ireland Bill ought to be determined as at the date when the Irish services are actually taken over rather than as at the date of the passing of the Act?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe answer is in the affirmative, but it is considered that the Bill is right as it stands.
