§ Mr. CHIOZZA MONEYasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will state, for each of the financial years 1905–6, 1906–7, and 1907–8, by how much the National Debt was reduced through the operation of the new Sinking Fund, the under-estimation of revenue, and the over-estimation of expenditure, respectively?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSETo the questions put down by the hon. Member I have not been able to prepare an answer. The House will understand that the Department has been very much overworked in connection with the financial statement.
§ Mr. CHIOZZA MONEYArising out of the interesting answer that might have been given—[cries of "Order"]—may I direct the attention of the hon. Gentleman to the fact that what I ask for is not down in the Memorandum which is placed in our hands?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI never said it was.
