51. Mr. G. MURRAYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, with a view to lessening the burden to the tax- 214 payer during the present trade and business depression, he will consider the desirability of spreading the total expenditure on unemployment, voted in the Supplementary Estimates during this Session, over a period of five to ten years, raising a special short-term loan for this purpose?
Mr. YOUNGNo, Sir. My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer thinks it is essential that we should meet current expenditure out of current revenue.
