HC Deb 14 January 1918 vol 101 c25
39. Mr. EVELYN CECIL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what day His Majesty's Government propose to give for the discussion of the Reports of the Committee on National Expenditure?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Discussion on this subject will take place as soon as possible, but I am not yet able to state the exact date.

Mr. PRINGLE

Will it be possible to have a discussion before the Prorogation?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I hope so. I gave some promise, I think, that it would be taken before the Adjournment.
