HC Deb 06 November 1912 vol 43 c1254
38. Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked why the Paper promised on 16th May to the right hon. Member for West Islington relating to the figures in the White Paper which was circulated with the Government of Ireland Bill has not yet been published, seeing that the Debate on the finance of that Bill will be commenced on Thursday?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The two Returns mentioned by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on 16th May last have already been published. As regards the further Paper, publication has been delayed in order that it might be ascertained whether any change in the estimates of Irish Revenue for 1912–13, given in Command Paper 6154, should be made in view of the actual receipts up to 30th September. I hope to circulate the Paper this week.
