§ 51 and 52. Colonel Gomme-Duncanasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if he will re-institute the practice of publishing Revenue and Expenditure Returns for Scotland and England, respectively;
(2) if he will consider the issue at early date of a national balance sheet of industry and trade, setting out clearly the contributions and receipts of Scotland and England, respectively.
§ Sir S. CrippsWith permission, I will answer these two Questions together.
§ Colonel Gomme-DuncanOn a point of Order, Mr. Speaker. I do not know whether it is possible for you not to give that permission. The two Questions are entirely separate and require separate answers.
§ Sir S. CrippsPerhaps, if the hon. and gallant Gentleman will wait until he hears the answer, he will learn that it answers both the Questions. The answer is: I would ask the hon. and gallant Member to await a statement about Scottish affairs which is about to be made by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.
