asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much of the £25,000,000 set aside in the last Budget for contingent expenses has actually been expended, and in what ways?

I would refer my hon. Friend to the Supplementary Estimate, dated the 13th of last month (H.C. 2 of 1923), which gives, on page 3, a complete list of the Supplementary Estimates for the current year, amounting to £18,831,300 out of the provisional figure of £25,000,000.
