HC Deb 21 September 1915 vol 74 cc347-436
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. McKenna)

The Budget which I am about to propose is the third since the outbreak of the War. The first was introduced by my predecessor last November, when he proposed new taxation which it is now estimated will bring in a revenue of £68,000,000 in a full year. Last May my right hon. Friend the Minister of Munitions proposed another Budget, but he did not then include any new taxation, although he warned the country and the House that at a later time in the year another Budget would be necessary. It has fallen to my lot to introduce a third Budget, in which I must ask the House to assent to additional and unprecedented burdens, which, heavy as they are, I feel confident, if the taxes are approved, will be accepted by the country.
