MR. WHITEsaid, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, On what day he proposes to make his Financial Statement?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERIn consequence of the time at which Easter fells this year, we find, that, although it might be possible to make the Financial Statement before Easter, it would not be possible for us to make any progress in any matters to which it might refer; and, therefore, we have thought that we should best consult the convenience of the House by deferring it until the first convenient day after Easter. But as the House usually resents the bringing forward of any important question on the very first day of the re-assembling after the Easter holydays, we have considered it desirable to select a subsequent day, which will probably be Thursday, the 27th of April.
