HC Deb 14 July 1938 vol 338 c1503
34. Mr. McEntee

asked the Home Secretary whether he can give details of expenditure against loan in respect of sums borrowed by the Receiver for the Metropolitan Police district from the Public Works Loan Commissioners under the Metropolitan Police (Borrowing Powers) Act, 1935?

Sir S. Hoare

I would refer the hon. Member to the information given on this matter in the accounts of the Metropolitan Police Fund presented annually to Parliament, and I will send him copies of these accounts for the last three years.

Mr. McEntee

In view of the fact that the question arose because there appears to be an amount of £3,300,000, which has not been expended, cannot I have an answer to the question on the Paper?

Sir S. Hoare

No, Sir. I think it would be for the convenience of the House if questions of this kind, which deal with a number of figures, were dealt with as I have suggested, namely, that the hon. Member should see a copy of the report, in which all these details are contained.

Mr. McEntee

In view of the fact that I have already examined the report and that I cannot find the details, will the right hon. Gentleman show me where they are?

Sir S. Hoare

Certainly, I will try to send the hon. Member a marked copy.
