HC Deb 08 May 1912 vol 38 cc534-5W
Mr. GUINEY

asked whether the sum of £246,000, being the amount of the deficiency in the administration of the Post Office Department in Ireland, will be paid out of the transferred sum or out of the sum of £500,000 placed at the disposal of the Irish Parliament?

Mr. BIRRELL

Over and above the sum of £500,000 placed at the disposal of the Irish Parliament, the transferred sum will include an amount equivalent to the deficiency in the Post Office administration.
