§ MR. HORSFALLsaid, he rose to ask whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer can now fix the day upon which he will make his financial statement?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERSir, I cannot, I am afraid, give an absolute answer to the question of the hon. Gentleman, as it is uncertain what time will be occupied by the Naval and Military Estimates; but if those Estimates should happily be concluded by to-morrow night—and perhaps the House will be disposed to sit a little later than usual in order to get through—in that case I will make the financial statement on Monday.
