HC Deb 05 April 1909 vol 3 cc724-5
Mr. CARR-GOMM

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been drawn to the activities of certain societies formed with the object of bringing pressure to bear on the Government to increase the naval and military forces of the Crown; and whether he will introduce legislation whereby special taxation may be imposed on the revenues of these agencies to meet part of the growing expenditure on armaments?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

My right hon. Friend cannot make any announcement at present as to what may or may not be included in the Finance Bill this year.
