MR. LAMBERT (Devonshire, South Molton)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what are the total Army Estimates, including military works, during the current year, for the United Kingdom and India respectively.

* MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

The figures are as follows. United Kingdom:—

Army Estimates (including Ordnance Factories) £29,000,000

I am unable, as I stated in a reply to the hon. and learned Member for Dundee on the 21st instant, to give the estimated expenditure out of Loan Funds in 1904–5 on Military Works.

The figures for India, which have been supplied me by my right hon. friend the Secretary of State for India, are:—

Army Estimates £18,215,000
Military Works 1,018,300
Special Defence Works 256,700
Total £19,490,000
MR. LOUGH (Islington, W.)

Will the right hon. Gentleman give the figures as to Military Works before the end of the session?

* MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

was understood to say he feared not.
