§ MR. J. G. HUBBARDasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, When the Finance Accounts for 1882–3 will be published; when the three Returns of Public Income Expenditure Analyzed, of the National Debt on 31st March last, and of National Debt Reduction in 1882–3, ordered on 4th May, will be published; and, whether the Analyzed Account of Public Revenue and Expenditure, now to be issued for the seventh time, could not advantageously appear in the annual volume of Finance Accounts?
§ MR. COURTNEYThe Finance Accounts are complete in type, and are undergoing the final revision. They will be ready for issue in a few days. The two Returns relating to the National Debt will be ready early in the week. That relating to Income and Expenditure depends upon the Finance Accounts, and will be completed as soon as the revision of them is finished. The "Analyzed Account of Income and Expenditure" is a Return for the form of 128 which the Government is not responsible, and I see no sufficient reason for adding it to the Government Accounts.
