To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Government put us off with such statements that the first Lord of the Admiralty has made to-day, in which he says this expenditure was advised by his expert advisers, who may be right or wrong. Because Lord Fisher thinks that the price of oil is going to rise, this precious Government engages in a speculation in oil, and they think they are Justified in using public money to the 92 SUPPLEarENTARY ESTIMATE [chap, viii extent of £500, 000 for the purchase of oil. This is entirely unconstituti...onal, and there is no justification either in precedent or Parliamentary procedure to justify it. I have given a few examples, and there are many more which I could quote. The hon. Member for Dumfriesshire quoted Mr. Gladstone, and I have quoted others, including Sir Erskine May. Any hon. Mem- ber may prove for himself that this action of the Government is both unconstitutional and illegal. Hon. Members opposite may differ with us upon ques- tions as to what amount should or should not be spent upon armaments ; but if they would only take the trouble to look into this question they would see that they have a great opportunity, if they are really anxious to supplant this Government.
