HC Deb 23 November 1926 vol 200 cc211-2
47. Mr. T. THOMSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what economies he has effected in the administration of his Department during this year?

7. Mr. MORRIS

asked the President of the Board of Trade what economies he has effected in the administration of his Department during this year?

15. Mr. LIVINGSTONE

asked the Secretary of State for War what economies he has effected in the administration of his Department during this year?

Mr. McNEILL

I have been asked to reply to these questions. I would refer the hon. Members to the answer which I gave on the 18th November, in reply to similar questions asked in regard to other Departments.

Mr. THOMSON

Seeing that the Government are unable to specify any economies, are we to understand that none has been made?

Mr. McNEILL

The hon. Member is quite mistaken in saying that we are unable to specify them.

Mr. THOMSON

Will the right hon. Gentleman specify them?
