HC Deb 29 May 1911 vol 26 cc842-3W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Secretary to the Treasury if he would state, for each of the ten years 1852 to 1862, the total amount of revenue collected in Ireland; the Treasury estimate of expenditure on Irish purposes; the balance of Irish taxes available for British and Imperial purposes; and a list of the purposes classed by the Treasury as Irish, with the average annual amount put down for each?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The particulars asked for will, as regards the financial year 1859–60, be found in the Financial Relations Return (House of Commons 234 of 1910). Those for the other years of the period are not available, the calculations having, as I have explained in answer to previous questions on the subject, been made only in respect of individual years at decennial intervals from 1819 to 1889–90 inclusive.
