§ 24. Lieut.-Colonel POWNALLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he intends to introduce the Budget?
§ 49. Mr. HOLMESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the date on which the Budget Statement will be made?
Lieut.-Commander YOUNGMy right hon. Friend is unable to fix a date for the opening of the Budget until he has been able to communicate with his successor in the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer and ascertain his wishes.
§ Mr. BOTTOMLEYIn view of the fact that the new Chancellor of the Exchequer is entirely new to financial business, will the Government postpone the Budget, say, for six months to give him an opportunity of learning it?
