Dr. J. WILLIAMS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what amounts of ex-gratin grants have been made to Northern Ireland during the last 10 years?

Mr. COOPER

The financial relations between Northern Ireland and the Exchequer a-re determined by the Government of Ireland Act, 1920. and the Unemployment Insurance (Northern Ireland) Agreement Acts, 1926 and 1929. The only grants made to Northern Ireland during the last 10 years outside the terms of those Statutes were the grants-in-aid of £1,250,000 and of £1,200,000 made in 1924–5 and 1925–6 respectively in connection with the Special Constabulary.
