HC Deb 22 June 1904 vol 136 c826
MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON (Dundee)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total amount of Supply for Navy and Army Services respectively for the year 1904-5 covered by the Consolidated Fund Act, No. 1; and what is the aggregate amount of the Supply since voted for each Service.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN, Worcester, E.)

The Navy Supply for the financial year 1904–5 covered by the Consolidated Fund, No, 1, Act was £8,325,200, and the Army Supply £9,746,000. The Supplies since voted in Committee included £16,560,100 for the Navy and £2,839,000 for the Army.

MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

Am I right in assuming that none of the money that has been voted since last March can be available for the Departments without it is covered by a new Consolidated Fund Act?

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

I believe that is so.

MR. GIBSON BOWLES

Am I not right in saying the total amount covered is £42,000,000?

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

That was not the Question asked.
