asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the most recent figures of expenditure other than war, war expenditure, and deficit, respectively, in the Budgets of European countries?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Chamberlain)

The information desired by my hon. and gallant Friend has been published by the League of Nations in Paper No. IV., presented to the Brussels Financial Conference.

Lieut.-Colonel POWNALL

Where might we obtain a copy?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The publishers in this country are Messrs. Harrison and Sons, St. Martin's Lane.

Mr. LAMBERT

Could the right hon. Gentleman lay copies in the Library of these official documents emanating from the League of Nations?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Yes, Sir, I think that is quite a reasonable request, and I shall look into it.
