§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSI beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer a question of which I have given private notice—
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd George)I have not received it.
§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSI sent it to the Treasury. I dare say the right bon. Gentleman will be able to answer it, as it is quite a simple question. [HON. MEMBERS: "No!"] If he would rather not—
§ Mr. SPEAKERIf the notice sent by the hon. Member has not reached the Chancellor of the Exchequer I do not think he ought to put the question,
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI was at the Treasury until half-past one, and I had not received the notice.
§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSIt was sent down, and a copy went to the Speaker at the same time.
