HC Deb 20 March 1912 vol 35 cc1892-3
Mr. FFRENCH

asked how much money has been allotted by the Development Commissioners for the development of the fisheries of Great Britain; how much for Irish fisheries; and how many piers and harbours in both countries are to be dealt with?

Mr. MASTERMAN

Up to the present advances by Grant and loan to the aggregate amount of £110,790 have been recommended by the Development Commissioners in connection with the development of fisheries in Great Britain. Advances by Grant and loan to the aggregate amount of £55,750 have been recommended for the development of Irish fisheries. Further applications are under consideration or in course of preparation. It is impossible at the present moment to say how many piers and harbours will ultimately be affected.

Mr. KERR-SMILEY

How much of the money has been allocated to Nationalist constituencies in Ireland?
