Military Works Loan Bill.

HC Deb 07 June 1905 vol 147 cc944-5

MR. BUCHANAN (Perthshire, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War when will the Military Works Loan Bill be introduced.

MR. BROMLEY DAVENPORT

The sums already available under the Military Works Acts are sufficient to meet all the estimated expenditure, and there is no present intention of asking for further borrowing powers for works expenditure after the total sum authorised is exhausted. No Military Works Bill will therefore be required this year.

MR. BUCHANAN

Will it not be necessary to introduce a Bill to enable any money to be spent after this year?

MR. BROMLEY DAVENPORT

No Sir.
