HC Deb 08 December 1931 vol 260 c1696
63. Mr. POTTER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if in view of the difficulty in ascertaining from the national accounts the total expenditure and the total revenue of each Department of State, he will take steps to have these accounts so framed that such information can be more easily obtainable?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The information in question is given in statements appended to the Estimates of each Department, and also in the Public Departments: Gross and Net Cost Return, which is published annually.
