HC Deb 23 July 1903 vol 126 c85
MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he will furnish an account of the total cost of Imperial Defence, including India and the Crown Colonies, and excluding the self-governing colonies; also the total cost of Diplomatic and Consular Service to Great Britain and Ireland.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I think it is possible to supply an Answer to the hon. Gentleman, but it would he more convenient to put it down as an unstarred Question or to move for the information in the form of a Return, which would of course be granted.
