§ * SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it will be necessary to obtain a Vote in the present Session for British expenditure in connection with the Soudan expedition or dispatch of Indian troops to Suakim, or whether it is the intention of the Government to defer asking for such a Vote until next Session?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir MICHAEL HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.No, I do not expect to be in a position to propose such a Vote this Session.
