HC Deb 29 July 1903 vol 126 cc683-4
MR. HERBERT ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether, in reference I to the Annual Return showing the amount contributed by England, Scot- land, and Ireland, respectively, to the revenue collected by Imperial Officers; the expenditure on English, Scottish, and Irish services met out of such revenue; and the balances of revenue contributed by England, Scotland, and Ireland, respectively, which are available for Imperial expenditure, he will consider whether, in future Returns, this information can be given for Wales under a separate heading.

* THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. RITCHIE,) Croydon

It would be impossible to distinguish accurately between England and Wales as regards either revenue or expenditure.
