Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Estimates for Capital Services.
Details of the provision in 1952-53 and 1953-54 for items designated as "Capital Services" in the Volume of Estimates, 1951-52, including in respect of 1952-53 the necessary adjustments for Supplementary and Revised Estimates, are set out in a statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to have included in the Official Report. The statement shows that, on the basis of the 1951-52 classification, the total provision for similar services in 1953-54 is £9,366,000, approximately, as stated by me in introducing the Vote on Account.
Following is the statement:—
