HC Deb 14 March 1918 vol 104 cc506-7W
Mr. FIELD

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has received a memorial and several resolutions asking the Government to undertake to defray a larger proportion, if possible amounting to one-half, of the cost of the maintenance of patients resident in lunatic asylums in Ireland; and, if so, what action he proposes to take?

Mr. DUKE

My right hon. Friend has received the memorial referred to, and has asked me to reply. I cannot add anything to the answer I gave to a question on this subject by the hon. and learned Member for North County Dublin on 21st January.
