HC Deb 02 March 1916 vol 80 c1199
68. Mr. P. MEEHAN

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that the continuance of hunts is strongly desired by the Government, the Treasury will grant reasonable subsidies to hunts in Ireland, the abandonment of which is inevitable owing to the impossibility of maintenance during the continuance of the War?

The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)

It does not appear to me that a case will be made out for the subsidies suggested by the hon. Member.
