HC Deb 15 July 1914 vol 64 cc1904-5
39. Viscount DALRYMPLE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state whether any further allowance can be made to the Wigtownshire insurance committee, whose estimated income is £200 and whose estimated expenditure is £466; and, if so, out of what funds it will be paid and when the payment will be made?

Mr. WEDGWOOD BENN (Lord of the Treasury)

I would refer to the reply given to the hon. Member for Kincardineshire on the 9th instant.

Mr. WORTHINGTON EVANS

Since that date, have any fresh funds been provided?

Mr. W. BENN

This is a money Grant, and all the money is gone; it has already been disposed of.

Mr. WORTHINGTON EVANS

If there is not money available, how is the committee of management to do its work?

Mr. W. BENN

The Parliamentary Grant, to which I have referred, is in aid of administrative expenses for this year.
