HC Deb 02 July 1906 vol 159 c1378
MR. BOTTOMLEY (Hackney, S.)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department under which Vote in the Estimates the special service fund (at the expense of which the witness Shuttle, in the case of Rex v. Watt was sent to Canada) will appear.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Gladstone.) The special service fund is not provided in the Votes of Parliament, but by a charge on the Consolidated Fund, forming part of the civil list charge, as the hon. Member will see on reference to page 43 of the annual Finance Accounts.
