HC Deb 06 August 1940 vol 363 cc39-40
Mr. Lees-Smith

May I ask the Lord Privy Seal when the Chancellor of the Exchequer will open his Supplementary Budget?

Mr. Attlee

My right hon. Friend will open his Supplementary Budget on Tuesday next.

Sir P. Harris

How many days are we to have to discuss the Budget? Will there be the usual stages?

Mr. Lewis

Will the Purchase Tax Bill now before the House be dropped?

Mr. Attlee

I would ask the hon. Gentleman to await the Budget Statement.

Sir P. Harris

May I have a reply? Will there be the usual opportunities to discuss the Budget in its various stages?

Mr. Attlee

The right hon. Gentleman had better raise that question through the usual channels.
