HC Deb 22 April 1918 vol 105 cc691-809
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Bonar Law)

in submitting to the House of Commons a financial statement on a scale far exceeding any that has ever been known at any time or in any country, my one desire is to present the position as clearly and as briefly as I can. There is, however, so much to explain that I fear I must on this occasion make a greater demand not only on the indulgence but on the time of the House than I have made before.
