§ 37. Mr. JOHNSTONasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether any Law Officer of the Crown received fees or other emoluments arising out of the illegal deportations to Ireland in 1923; and, if so, what were the amounts and to whom paid?
§ Mr. McNEILLYes, Sir. The sum of £521 19s. 6d. was paid to the Attorney-General, and £127 6s. to the Solicitor-General.
§ Mr. JOHNSTONCan the right hon. Gentleman say who got the balance of the £9,000 referred to in the White Paper?
§ Mr. McNEILLI cannot say that offhand, but if my hon. Friend will put down a question I will try to get the information.
§ Captain GARRO-JONESIf the principle were established of not paying for bad advice from the Crown, would not the nation save all the salaries of right hon. Gentlemen?
