VISCOUNT ALEXANDER OF HILLS-BOROUGHMy Lords, might I just ask the noble Viscount the Leader of the House whether he has noted the position which arises to-day in the House with regard to the financial statement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer? In accordance with such matters as a main Budget or extra Budget we do not have the statement repeated here, but for ordinary Budgets we have a full statement in the Printed Paper Office. I do not know whether that is possible on this occasion, but I should like to know whether the Leader of the House has been able to make any arrangements by which the Members of this House can have the earliest possible accurate information.
§ VISCOUNT HAILSHAMMy Lords, I have, of course, considered this matter, 912 and I am grateful to the noble Viscount for bringing it to my attention. I hope that a limited number of Roneoed copies will, at the proper time, be available in the Printed Paper Office; but I am afraid that the number will be rather more limited than I could have wished, for reasons which are outside my control.
