VOTE OF CREDIT
MEETING WAR COSTS
£700,000,000 MORE WANTED
HOUSE TO APPROVE
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) (Received March 9, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, March 8.
A vote of credit amounting to £700,000,000 for expenditure arising out of the war will be presented in the House of Commons on March 13.
The Treasury issues a vote, in acl cordance with wartime practice, and does not submit the estimates of certain Departments.
A £500,000,000 vote of credit was adopted last September, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that he was unable to say whether it would be sufficient to cover the country's requirements to the end of the financial year.
