§ 83. Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the sum of £1,110,000 transferred from the Exchange account to the Exchequer, or any part of it, was included in the receipts estimated in his Budget; and whether it is intended to make any further transfers in this financial year?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part of the question, the Exchange account has surplus assets amounting to about £3,000,000 which are available as miscellaneous revenue this year.
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSDoes the right hon. Gentleman intend to use it as miscellaneous revenue?
§ Mr. SNOWDENI cannot answer that question.
§ Mr. ARTHUR MICHAEL SAMUELThere is a large capital sum of £33,000,000.
§ Mr. SNOWDENIt is quite evident that the hon. Gentleman does not understand it. There is a capital sum and interest on the capital.
§ Mr. SAMUELIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that he will find the £33,000,000 Exchange capital sum in the Appropriation Account just published?
