§ 21. Colonel Sir ARTHUR HOLBROOKasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department if the surplus funds from the Great Exhibition of 1851 have been exhausted; and whether, if any balance still remains, the amount of the surplus could be applied to make good the Wembley losses and thus relieve the guarantors of some portion of their liability?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Ronald McNeill)I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to Command Paper 2172 of 1924, which will give full information as regards the first part of his question. It would be impossible to adopt the suggestion in the last part of his question.
§ Mr. J. H. THOMASI should like to know whether the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer has been drawn to this sum of money?
