Colonel HOWARD-BURY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs the number of cases heard by the Irish Grants Committee and the number waiting to be heard; and when it is expected that their labours will be completed?

Mr. PONSONBY

The Irish Grants Committee have made recommendations in respect of 3,614 claims and applications, 416 still awaiting consideration. The Committee are proceeding as expeditiously as is possible with their task, and it is hoped that it may be completed within two to three months.
