Sir F. HALLasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if the amount of revenue for the present financial year, with the receipts from Loans already raised, will be sufficient, so far as can be seen now, to meet all national expenditure for the year 1919–20; and, if not, what is the estimated deficiency, and how this is proposed to be met?
§ Mr. BALDWINI would refer the hon. Member to the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Financial Debate in October last, and particularly to the explanation he gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Norwich on the 30th October.
