HC Deb 07 March 1910 vol 14 c1154
Mr. H. P. CROFT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he will be able to inform the House what is the permanent loss to the Treasury owing to the continued delay in passing the Budget?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

The amount which will be permanently lost cannot be estimated until the whole of the revenue for the year has, so far as may prove possible, been collected and brought to account.
