HC Deb 09 July 1914 vol 64 cc1234-5
95. Mr. MAURICE HEALY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the estimated amount of the additional taxation which will become payable by Ireland under the Finance Bill, as now proposed to be amended, for the year 1914–15, and the amount of the additional Grants proposed to be made to Ireland during that year?

May I be permitted to say that I put down this as an unstarred question on Tuesday week, and that I was not honoured with a reply?

Mr. MONTAGU

I am circulating a statement with the Votes. My right hon. Friend regrets that there has been delay in supplying the hon. Member with this information.—[See Written Answers this date.]

Mr. MAURICE HEALY

May 1 point out to the hon. Gentleman that the Finance Bill has now reached the Committee stage? Surely at this stage the Irish Members are entitled to know how the latest proposals affect their country!

Mr. MONTAGU

The hon. Member will get the information to-day. I will give him an advance copy of the answer immediately after questions.
