HC Deb 13 April 1891 vol 352 cc374-5
SIR W. HARCOURT (Derby)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can now state on what day the Budget will be taken; and will he state when the Papers relating to the extraordinary expenditure under the Naval Defence Act, and the manner in which that expenditure has been made, will be presented?

MR. GOSCHEN

The Bridget statement will be made on Thursday week. With regard to the second question of the right hon. Gentleman, the figures which he desires are already in type; and I hope they will be in his hands in a very few days—certainly in good time for the Budget.
