§ Mr. NEWMANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in addition to the estimated true revenue per head of £2 12s. 8d. for Ireland, as contained in the Return of Imperial Revenue, Page 13, laid upon the Table of the House on 12th July, he can also state the estimated true revenue per head in the case of England and Scotland respectively?
Mr. McKINNON WOODThe corresponding figure for England and Wales is £4 15s. 2d., and for Scotland £4 4s. 3d. Any comparison, however, on the basis of the figures for 1910–11 alone is, for the reasons explained in the note to the House 1131W of Commons Paper 221 of 1911 (as revised), misleading. Taking an average for the two years 1909–10 and 1910–11, the respective contributions are: England and Wales, £3 17s. 7d. Scotland, £3 12s. 2d.; Ireland, £2 5s. 5d.
