HC Deb 29 November 1945 vol 416 c1755W
Dr. Little

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what percentage of the revenue of Northern Ireland is collected by the British Government and by the local government at Stormont, respectively; and whether he will introduce legislation to vary this apportionment and allow the Government of Northern Ireland to have wider powers over the finance of the State under their control.

Mr. Dalton

About 74 per cent. through the Residuary share of Reserved Taxes and about 26 per cent. through the Transferred Revenue. The reply to the second part of the Question is "No, Sir." I understand that the Northern Ireland Government arc satisfied with the present system.
