§ MR. LABOUCHEREI beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any portion of the sum demanded in the Navy Supplementary Estimates is due to expenditure in regard to preparations and demonstrations connected with the Fashoda incident; and, if so, under which sub-heads such expenditure is to be found?
§ MR. MACARTNEYThe answer is in the negative.
§ MR. LABOUCHEREDo I understand that those thousands of pounds which the Chancellor of the Exchequer said had been spent in preparations and demonstrations are not included in the Supplementary Estimates?
§ MR. MACARTNEYI am not aware that the Chancellor of the Exchequer ever made such a statement.
§ MR. LABOUCHEREHe certainly did.
