HC Deb 08 May 1919 vol 115 c1101
64. Sir JOSEPH WALTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will restore full Treasury control in connection with the expenditure of public money by immediately prohibiting new expenditure on the part of the great spending Departments of the State unless Treasury sanction has been previously obtained?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr Chamberlain)

All the exceptions to the normal rules enforced before the War requiring Treasury sanction for expenditure have now been revoked.
