§ Mr. FORRESTasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, since the House adjourned for the holidays, any unexpected expenditure has been incurred to vary his Budget Estimates as last presented; and whether the latest returns bear out his anticipations of revenue?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI do not think that there was anything in the situation before the coal strike to require the presentation of a revised financial statement. The strike changes the whole position, 797W but at the same time makes it impossible to offer any revised forecast at the present time.
