This Report of the Primrose Committee, the Treasury outline of financial provisions, and the speech of the Postmaster-General on the introduction of the Bill offer some vague estimates, perhaps more properly guesses, of Irish finance, one of which, Old-age Pensions, extends to twenty years. It may be interesting to throw these figures together, not (God forbid) as an estimate, but as illustrating opinion prevalent among the experts engaged in the preparation of the Bill. Income: Estimate for the year 1912-1913 10,839,000 _Add_ free gift of £500,000 to be reduced in nine years to 200,000 The Postmaster-General’s Estimate of £200,000 normal yearly increase of revenue in twenty years 4,000,000 Income in twenty years (round figures) 15,000,000 Expenditure: Sum transferred to Ireland 1912-1913 5,462,000 Post Office, 1912-1913 1,600,000 Old-age pensions (Treasury Paper) 2,800,000 Land purchase (£761,000 in 1912-1913 increased by £450,000) 1,211,000 Insurance £191,500 in 1912-1913 increased by £300,000 491,500 (Say) 11,564,500-11,600,000 Balance available for Constabulary, collection of Revenue, Imperial contribution and Irish services. It must be recollected that the Irish Government has to provide for increase of Irish services beyond £5,462,000 by taxation. VI.—The Judiciary, The Police, And The Maintenance Of Law And Order.
