MR. CHILDERS

said, he was sorry to have to ask, for the third time, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, On what day he will state to the House the provision required for the additional expenditure proposed since the Budget?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

I am quite as sorry to have to answer the Question as my right hon. Friend is to put it; but I am still obliged to say that my right hon. Friends the Secretary of State for War and the First Lord of the Admiralty have not yet completed their Estimates. I hope they will be on the Table before the close of the week, and when they are no time shall be lost in making the proper statement.

MR. CHILDERS

I will put the Question again on Friday next.
