HC Deb 17 February 1898 vol 53 c863
SIR CHARLES DILKE

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has further considered the expediency of a Civil Works Loans Bill for spreading over several years the cost of such works as those connected with the rehousing of portions of the National Collections?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir M. HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.

Yes, Sir; a Bill for the purpose referred to in the question has been drafted and will be introduced in a few days.
