HC Deb 07 July 1919 vol 117 cc1395-6
76. Sir DONALD MACLEAN

asked the Lord Privy Seal when he proposes to re-introduce the Estimates for the Navy, Army, and Air Forces in accordance with his promise?

Mr. BONAR LAW

My right hon. Friend is mistaken in saying that I gave any promise that new Estimates would be introduced, though I said that the suggestion would be considered. I did say, how- ever, that I thought there ought to be a discussion of the whole subject in the House when we revert to a peace footing, but I do not think that the time has yet come when it would be useful to have that discussion.
