Referring to the land annuities, Mr. Lloyd George and the terms Kiven by the British Government to the Irish pensants to enable them to purchase their freeholds were very generous. The Govern ment advanced the whole of the purchase money, and the former tenant, who hail now become the owner, had to pay an annuity to meet the interest and sinking fund charges for this price. Altogether the British exchequer had advanc- ed prior to the formation of the Irish Free State, some £89,500,000 for land purchase, and had paid nearly £10,000.000 in bonuses.
The sinking fund repayments taj dute amounted to about £13,500,- 000, so that about £76,000,000 was still outstanding.-British Wire- le88.
