FREE STATE BILL’S EFFECT. £12,000,000 PAYMENT WITHHELD. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Nov. 27. In the House of Commons Mr. J. H. Thomas, Dominions Secretary, in reply to a question, said that the Government had informed the Free State Government that the Irish Free State Citizenship Bill could not be regarded as providing maintenance of the common status of subjects of His Majesty as contemplated in the conclusions of the Imperial Conference of 1930. The Irish Bill could not in any case deprive any person of his status as a British subject. The total payments withheld by the Free State for the financial years 1932 to October 31. 1934, were £12,000.000. Duties collected and special duties on Irish goods entering Britain in the same period were £8,355,000.
