HC Deb 12 April 1922 vol 153 c400
70. Mr. RAWLINSON

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether beneficiaries having funds in the hands of the Public Trustee in Ireland have had or will have an opportunity of transferring their property to the Public Trustee in London before the responsibility of the British Government for such funds comes to an end?

Mr. YOUNG

This matter will receive due consideration. For the present, the Public Trustee, Ireland, has not been transferred to the Irish Government.

Mr. RAWLINSON

Does the hon. Gentleman remember that he told me the matter was receiving consideration? Can he give me any idea when it will be finally considered, and dealt with?

Mr. YOUNG

It is impossible to make final arrangements until the question of transfer to the Irish Government arises, but I can assure the hon. and learned Member when that time does come, the considerations which he advances will, of course, be regarded as most important.
