HC Deb 08 March 1905 vol 142 c714
MR. LOUGH (Islington, W.)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having regard to the lateness of Easter this year, it is his intention to bring in his Budget before the Easter holidays; and, if so, whether he can yet fix the date.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

I am not yet able to fix a date for the Budget Statement.

MR. LOUGH

Will it be before Easter?

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

I think so.

MR. LOUGH

I will put the Question again on Monday.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

I cannot promise to state definitely on Monday.
