HC Deb 06 August 1912 vol 41 c2939W
Mr. NANNETTI

asked on what basis Ireland's share of the Parliamentary Grant under the Workmen's Unemployment Act is computed when the sum allocated for the whole of Ireland is only equal to that granted to the city of Edinburgh distress committee?

Mr. BIRRELL

No allocation of the Unemployment Grant to Ireland for the current financial year has yet been made, and the Local Government Board will base their application to the Treasury upon the claims made by the various distress committees, as well as upon consideration of the urban populations in the three countries.
