§ Considered in Committee.
§ [Mr ROBERT YOUNG in the Chair.]
§
Motion made, and Question proposed,
That, towards making good the Supply granted to His Majesty for the service of the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1924, the sum of £2,958,020 be granted out of the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom."—[Mr. W. Graham.]
§ Mr. BUCHANANMay we have some explanation of this Resolution? We have discussed a matter of £100,000 or so in connection with Poplar for a whole day, and yet we are asked to spend all this money in about two minutes.
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. William Graham)This matter really requires no explanation. It is a pure formality. For some time we have been discussing provisions in connection with the treatment of foot-and-mouth disease. There has been the most ample discussion in the House, and this is simply a Resolution enabling us to pay the money which the House has amply discussed.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Resolution to be reported To-morrow.
§ Committee to sit again To-morrow.
