- W2489937687 abstract "When Britain went to war in August 1914, nobody doubted that the conflict would be very expensive; but the cost rapidly passed all anticipation. In November 1914, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lloyd George, foretold that the war would cost at least £450 million in the first full year — that is, a little over £1.23 million a day. On 1 March 1915, Prime Minister Asquith predicted that the cost would be more than £1 7 million a day during the forthcoming year. At the beginning of May 1915, Lloyd George told the House of Commons that the average daily cost of the war — excluding loans to Allies and Dominions — was £2.1 million a day. This was substantially more than twice the total government expenditure at any previous time. In June, Asquith estimated that expenditure in the succeeding months would run at £3 million a day. In November, the Prime Minister considered that the ‘outside estimate’ of war costs had now risen to £5 million a day. So, over a period of 12 months, official estimates of the daily cost of the war had multiplied by a factor of four. In April 1918, Bonar Law, who by then had become Chancellor, estimated a daily expenditure in excess of £8 million There is no reason for thinking that any of these men was deliberately misleading Parliament." @default.
