HC Deb 01 July 1920 vol 131 c663W
Major GLYN

asked the Prime Minister what sum was budgeted for by the present civil administration in Mesopotamia for the current year; how much of this is to be devoted to public works, education, irrigation, and education separately; how much of this development work is contained in the Army Estimates for railway construction, etc.; and how is it proposed to raise this revenue from the population?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The Budget Estimates for the civil administration of Mesopotamia for the year 1920–21 are at present under discussion with the Acting Civil Commissioner. I am not yet in a position to make a statement on the subject.
