Vol. 70 No. 13

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Expenditure on Volunteer Halls.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state what were the sums expended during the financial year 1937-38 on the erection of Volunteer halls.

A sum of £6,964 3s. 5d. was spent during the financial year 1937-38 on the erection of Volunteer halls. This figure is subject to adjustment.

Arising out of the Parliamentary Secretary's reply, can he say, in the cases where it was decided to hire a hall or to purchase a hall instead of erecting a new hall, did the expenditure for purchasing a hall or hiring a hall become his responsibility, or was it a matter for the Minister for Defence?

I certainly could not answer that question without notice.

Perhaps the Parliamentary Secretary can answer it in another way. Was there any money expended on the purchase or hire of halls for use as Volunteer halls during the financial year referred to?

If the Deputy will put that question down it will be answered.
