I move:
That a sum not exceeding £777,650 be granted to defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1967, for the Salaries and Expenses of the Office of the Minister for External Affairs, and of certain Services administered by that Office, including a Grant-in-Aid.
I understand it has been agreed between the Whips, because of the absence of the Minister for External Affairs, that I move the two External Affairs Votes formally and that the debate on them will take place when the Dáil resumes after Christmas.
