HC Deb 17 November 1925 vol 188 cc195-6
Mr. HARMSWORTH

(by Private Notice) asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will state the amount of the Road Fund; and whether he proposes to seek Parliamentary sanction to divert part, and if so, what part of that fund to any other purpose, and whether that purpose is, or includes the Coal Subsidy?

Mr. KENNEDY

On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker. There is a notice on the paper of a question on the same subject. I wish to ask if it is in order to anticipate it by a Private Notice question?

Mr. SPEAKER

The point had escaped my notice. If that be so, I cannot accept the Private Notice question of the hon. Member for the Isle of Thanet.
