HC Deb 25 June 1891 vol 354 cc1427-8
MR. LENG (Dundee)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will agree to supply a Return showing for each financial year, beginning with 1880–81, the several sums paid into the Exchequer by direction of the Treasury from the surpluses of the various special funds administered by the War Office, the Admiralty, and the Board of Trade?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover Square

Details of all the payments of which the hon. Member wishes a Return to be made are to be found in the annual Finance Accounts under the head of Miscellaneous Revenue—on page 21, and the following pages of the volume for 1889–90. I would suggest to the hon. Member that the information which he needs may be readily obtained from that source.
