HC Deb 04 June 1896 vol 41 c411
MR. GIBSON BOWLES

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he can state, or will agree to a Return stating, for the year 1895–6, the gross receipts of all public Revenue, whether from Customs, Inland Revenue, Post Office, or from any other source of receipt, which were not paid into the Exchequer in the manner provided by Section 10 of The Exchequer and Audit Act, 1866, but were paid into any separate fund; distinguishing each receipt under a general head, with its amount, and the Act of Parliament which authorises its payment into such separate fund instead of into the Exchequer?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

The information for which the hon. Member asks will be shown in the Finance Accounts for 1895–6, which will shortly be issued. Full details for 1894–5 will be found in the Finance Accounts for that year, pages 18 to 22, and 102–103.
