§ 56. Mr. MITCHELL-THOMSONasked what was the result of the scrutiny of accounts which was made with special reference to the Inquiry of the Committee on Irish Finance; and what are the details of the further adjustments which were made as the outcome of that scrutiny?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe result of the scrutiny of accounts made with special reference to the Inquiry of the Committee on Irish Finance is stated in paragraph 50 of the Committee's Report, namely, an increase in the revenue attributable to Ireland of about £50,000. The items making up this figure are for the most part similar in character to those shown in Appendix B, page 33, of the Report, but further adjustments in favour of Ireland were made to allow in round figures for the estimated excess of letters and telegrams delivered over those posted in Ireland.
