1236W
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe Bill does not contemplate that a decision of the Joint Exchequer Board on the questions specifically referred to it should be the subject of review in ordinary course by either the Parliament of the United Kingdom or the Parliament of Ireland, but the provisions of Clause 1 (2) of the Bill make it clear that the Imperial Parliament, if it thought fit, would have the same power of review in those matters as it has in any others.
