HC Deb 09 December 1920 vol 135 c2416
72. Colonel GRETTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total amount already received by the Treasury during the current financial year on account of sales by the Disposal Board, sale of ships, and the realisation of property of all kinds, including in the total any repayments for services rendered or otherwise not voted by Parliament as appropriations in aid; and what is the total amount estimated to be received by the Treasury from all such sources during the present financial year?

Mr. BALDWIN

The estimated revenue from special miscellaneous receipts, including Disposal Board receipts and sale of ships, is £302,000,000, of which £191,648,042 had been received up to the 4th December, as shown in the published Exchequer Return. No receipts from disposals or sale of ships have this year been appropriated in aid of Votes except £3,000,000 on account of the proceeds of the sale of German ships appropriated by Parliament to the extent of £4,999,900 in aid of the coal advances under the Spa Protocol.
