HC Deb 22 June 1916 vol 83 c291
12. Major NEWMAN

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, having regard to the fact that the figures given in the Official Memorandum, Cd. 6154, of the Financial Provisions of the Home Rule Act, 1914, were estimates only, and that the Act did not rest on them, he will, before the Act is brought into operation, furnish estimates brought up to date and showing any extra cost to the British taxpayer that a partition of Ireland would entail?

Mr. SAMUEL

I will not fail to bear in mind the hon. Member's suggestion.
