§ Mr. JAMES MASONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are the figures for the expenditure within the German Empire for the last three years under the following heads: Imperial, State, and Municipal?
§ Sir E. GREYIn regard to Imperial expenditure, I would refer the hon. Member to the Reports on the finances of the German Empire which are presented annually to both Houses of Parliament. I have not material to enable me to reply to the question as regards State and municipal expenditure, and it would be difficult to obtain it unless there are published figures available in Germany.
