HC Deb 27 July 1914 vol 65 cc928-9
74. Mr. MAURICE HEALY

asked what is the cause of the unusual delay this year in issuing the two annual Returns, Revenue and Expenditure (England, Scotland, and Ireland), and Imperial Revenue (Collection and Expenditure), Great Britain and Ireland; and when they will be issued?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

There has been nothing unusual in this matter. These Returns are in the Press, and will be issued on Tuesday.

Mr. MAURICE HEALY

Is it not a fact that the Returns have never been so late as this year?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am informed that is not the case, but I dare say the hon. Gentleman has looked it up.
