§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exechequer, Whether the decision of her Majesty's Government to contribute £500,000 towards the cost of the Indian Expedition to Egypt "during the current financial year" is a final settlement of the matter, and leaves nothing open for future discussion?
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. CHILDEES)Yes, Sir; Her Majesty's Government have decided not to propose to Parliament to contribute 1164 more than £500,000 towards the cost of the Egyptian Expedition defrayed by India; leaving rather more than £600,000 out of £4,500,000 as a charge on the Indian Exchequer.
§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLI suppose we may understand that the Government of India have accepted that offer?
