§ Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINI would like to ask the right hon. Gentleman, the Prime Minister, whether, before we adjourn, he can give us any indication 1162 of the probable date of the introduction of the Budget?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI cannot name any date as yet.
§ Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINAm I to understand conclusively that the right hon. Gentleman can indicate no date? It is very unusual to adjourn without having some idea of the date.
§ The PRIME MINISTERFrom the statement which I made yesterday the right hon. Gentleman will see that the entire time of the first week after reassembling has been already allotted. I think I may say that in all probability it will be taken in the following week.
§ Mr. CHAMBERLAINWill it be likely to be taken on the Monday.
§ The PRIME MINISTERIt will be either Monday or Thursday.
