HC Deb 22 July 1908 vol 193 c89
*MR. REES

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer what is estimated to be the total expenditure out of the Exchequer, or out of taxes raised by the authority of Parliament, upon purely Welsh purposes in the year 1908–9.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE,) Carnarvon Boroughs

Materials are not available to enable an estimate to be made of the proportion of the expenditure by Government Departments in England and Wales which is attributable to Welsh purposes.

*MR. REES

Cannot the right hon. Gentleman arrange that the materials shall be available?

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE

I am afraid it would be rather difficult.
