§ Brigadier-General CROFTasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer under what heading in the published weekly accounts of income and expenditure is to be found the result of sales of realisable assets by the Government; if the item does not appear in the published accounts, is the public to understand that the results of these sales are simply deducted from the week's expenditure; and in which case will he say whether the public obtains a true idea of expenditure, and does this system make it impossible to tell whether there is a real saving in expenditure or not?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINAs indicated in my Budget Statement, the proceeds of sales of realisable assets, in so far as they are not appropriated by Parliament in aid of Departmental Votes as shown in the published Estimates, will be brought to account under the head of Miscellaneous in the weekly accounts of Revenue and Expenditure. Balance on trading accounts will be paid over as such accounts are closed.
