HC Deb 26 April 1922 vol 153 c553
52. Captain TERRELL

asked the Prime Minister whether the Cabinet will consider the desirability of prescribing to all Government Departments that no Supplementary Estimates will be put forward unless the expenditure entailed has the prior approval of the Cabinet as a whole?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Hilton Young)

All Supplementary Estimates require the prior approval of the Treasury, which, in important cases, would involve the approval of the Cabinet.
