§ Mr. REIDasked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs the reason for the delay in the payment of awards made by the Irish Grants Committee; and whether he will take steps to expedite such payments?
§ Mr. LUNNThe delay which occurred in the payment of awards recently re- 1425W commended by the Irish Grants Committee was due to the fact that no further funds were available pending the passing of the necessary Supplementary Vote by the House. All awards recommended by the Committee up to the present have either already been discharged or are now in process of payment.
