§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he is still satisfied that his Estimate for the War in South Africa is sufficient, or recognizes that it must be increased? He added, by way of explanation, that he was aware there had been no formal Estimate; but he referred to the £1,500,000 spoken of by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERSir, the hon. Member is quite right in saying that at present there is no Estimate on the Table. The right hon. Gentleman the Member for Pontefract (Mr. Childers), however, has already given Notice of his intention to ask a Question with regard to the Estimate of the cost of the war in South Africa immediately after the Whitsuntide holidays; and I think it would be more convenient to defer answering the Question of the hon. Member for Kirkcaldy until then.
