HC Deb 08 November 1921 vol 148 cc215-6
55. Captain W. BENN

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is now in a position to make a statement as to the results of the Treasury Circular of 13th May last and the reductions promised in reply?

Mr. YOUNG

I beg to refer to my reply to the hon. Member for the Harrow Division (Mr. Mosley) on the 1st instant.

Captain BENN

Does that mean the House of Commons will have no statement whatever about the results of this Circular?

Mr. YOUNG

If the hon. and gallant Gentleman refers to the reply, he will see that I have referred to the statement made by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he hopes to deal with these matters on the Consolidated Fund Bill.
