80. Colonel NEWMANasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can say when the final settlement will be taken as between the British and Free State Governments in respect of the vice-regal lodge and other buildings and lands, the property of the Crown, lands, barracks, and buildings, the property of the British War Office or other British Government Departments, and for pieces of artillery, small arms, ammunition, and military equipment supplied to the late Provisional Government of the South of Ireland?
§ Mr. BALDWINNegotiations with a view to the settlement of these questions are in progress, but owing to the. preoccupation of the Free State Government with other urgent matters, I regret that I cannot indicate when a filial settlement may be expected.
§ Mr. BALDWINI do not think so, I could not say positively without looking into it.
