HC Deb 29 November 1927 vol 211 cc287-8W
Sir A. SINCLAIR

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what sums have been received by the Exchequer in the years 1925–26 and 1926–27, and what sums he has estimated for the year 1927–28, in respect of transfers from various funds, and balances held outside the Exchequer; sales of War stores; profits or surpluses on various accounts arising out of the War, such as the enemy debt surplus and the War risks insurance account; sums taken during the year by a reduction of the balances held by revenue departments outside the Exchequer; anticipation of taxes by which more than one year's receipts are brought to account in a single Budget; and any other item of a capital or non-recurrent character?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The materials for answering this complicated question will be found by my hon. and gallant Friend in House of Commons Papers 69/1926, 90/1926, 54/1927 and 71/1927 and in the statements made on behalf of the Government during the Budget Debates of 1926 and 1927. To these, at present, I have nothing to add.
