§ whether he can state for each of the financial years 1905–6 and 1907–8 the total expediture out of issues to meet capital expenditure under various Acts by the War Office, the Admiralty, the Civil Service, and the Revenue Department respectively.
§ (Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) The total expenditure in 1905–6 out of issues to meet capital expenditure was as follows—
