HC Deb 07 November 1916 vol 87 c61W
Commander WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether, with a view to increasing the co-ordination of the administration of Irish administration in Ireland and this country, the Chief Secretary, the Lord Lieutenant, and the Permanent Under-Secretary can be given a free pass over the railways and steamships between London and Dublin and Belfast?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

The expenses of the Permanent Under-Secretary when travelling on public business are provided for from public funds. No question has yet arisen as to the payment by the Lord Lieutenant and the Chief Secretary of their own travelling expenses between England and Ireland.
