MR. SYDNEY BUXTON (Tower Hamlets, Poplar)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will lay upon the Table a Return giving the total estimated cost of the South African War, and showing the way in which the cost has been, or is to be, met from additional taxation; from the application of realised surplus on ordinary expenditure and suspension of Sinking Fund; and by loan, Exchequer issues, or in other ways.

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

Yes, Sir.
