§ 38. Sir L. LYLEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, since the introduction of the Budget, there have arisen any circumstances which will compel the presentation of Supplementary Estimates; and whether, in that case, he will state what these circumstances are?
§ Mr. SNOWDENSome Estimates have already been presented, but. I am not aware of any special circumstances unforeseen in my Budget statement which will necessitate any considerable further provision.
§ Major COLFOXAre we to assume from that reply that the Supplementary Estimates which are likely to be presented will not more than consume the very small surplus allowed for in the Budget?
§ Mr. SNOWDENYes.
§ Viscount CURZONWill a Supplementary Estimate be necessary in the case of the works on the Wash?
