HC Deb 06 May 1909 vol 4 c1192
Mr. JAMES HOPE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the announcement that the new taxation for 1909–10 will meet this year's needs and will also cover the whole of the estimated increased liabilities for 1910–11, he will inform the House of the nature and extent of those subsequent liabilities?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I must refer the hon. Member to my remarks on this subject in the earlier portion of the Financial Statement which I laid before the House on the 29th ultimo.

Mr. JAMES HOPE

Could not the right hon. Gentleman say something as to the extent of the liability?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I respectfully submit to the hon. Member that that is one of the points I dealt with.
