HC Deb 08 June 1937 vol 324 c1601W
Mr. Garro Jones

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether all Departments have now been instructed to consult the Treasury in all cases of doubt as to the interpretation of the Appropriation Act?

Lieut.-Colonel Colville

I am not aware that any occasion has arisen which calls for the issue of such instructions as are proposed by the hon. Member. I feel sure that Departments would, in the cases referred to, seek the advice of the Treasury.
