Mr. CECILasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in the future Returns of public expenditure under various Acts of Parliament, which he has 2425W promised to issue annually in continuance of Parliamentary Paper No. 218, of 1919, he will give directions that administrative expenditure shall be given separately so that comparisons may be instituted between different areas; and that capital and current expenditure shall be shown separately, so that for instance the proportion of salaries to upkeep should be made clear?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI would refer my right hon. Friend to the answer I gave him on the 23rd February to which I am not yet able to add anything.
