HC Deb 24 November 1938 vol 341 c1976W
Mr. David Adams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will make a statement, in the interests alike of business and employment as well as to allay any fears as to the possible curtailment of the social services, as to whether Budgetary increases will, in view of the fact that the ordinary capital market is now employing £100,000,000 a year less than in 1936, be met next year by calls upon the capital market, thus bringing about a more full employment of resources and avoiding as far as possible the dangers of increased taxation?

Sir J. Simon

I cannot adopt the hon. Member's suggestion.
