§ Mr. CASSELasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the estimate of £13,131,000 for Irish expenditure for the year 1914–15 includes any and, if so, what proportion of the Grants of £1,250,000 for the United Kingdom for national health insurance, tuberculosis nursing, and pathological laboratories; and whether the same estimate also includes £172,000 or any-other and, if so, what sum in respect of Ireland's share of the new Grants to local authorities for the year 1914–151
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI may perhaps take this opportunity to make a slight correction which has been found to be required in the provisional figures already given. The revised total for the estimated Irish expenditure in 1914–15 is £13,140,500, which includes the sums specified below in respect of the services mentioned:—
£ Additional Local Taxation Grants (as stated in House of Commons, 212, of 1914) 172,000 National Insurance 52,000 Tuberculosis, etc. 22,500
