§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much of the Revenue credited to 1919–20 arises from the sale of war material?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI do not know what definition my hon. and gallant Friend would put on the words "war material." Of the Miscellaneous Revenue 1919-20 amounting to £280,829,000, approximately £251,000,000 arose from war assets, including £69,000,000 from the Ministry of Munitions and £56,000,000 from the Ministry of Shipping, the balance being mainly Wheat Commission and Food Ministry Receipts. The greater part of the Receipts from War Sales was not credited as revenue in 1919-20, but was appropriated in aid of Munitions, Navy and Army Votes.
