§ 34. Major O'NEILLasked the Prime Minister whether it is his intention to circulate a White Paper explanatory of the financial provisions of the Government of Ireland Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes, Sir.
§ Major O'NEILLWill this return show the estimated revenue and local expenditure of the Northern and Southern Irish Parliaments? They are figures which have never yet been produced.
§ The PRIME MINISTERI should not like to answer without notice. I will consider it very carefully.
§ Major O'NEILLIs the right hon. Gentleman not aware that without such figures the White Paper will be quite useless for the purposes of discussion?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI can understand the relevancy and importance of any figures of that kind if it is possible to estimate them at present.
