Savings are estimated to arise in subheads C.1, C.8, C.10 and E and provide for an expected excess in subheads A,1 and C.9.

Could I direct the Minister's attention to Vote 30, subhead D11, and ask him what happened to the £2.1 million provided in the Book of Estimates as a capital service according to a footnote, while he showed almost that much of a saving when introducing a Supplementary Estimate?

There was no expenditure on that subhead at any stage during the year.

Would the Minister like to say where that almost £2.1 million was transferred to?

That arises on subsequent Questions on the Order Paper.

6.

asked the Minister for Education the transfers by virement effected by him or intended to be effected by him in any of his Department's Votes or between any of his Department's Votes.

The recent Supplementary Estimates for Votes, 30, 32, 33 and 35 provided for all excesses in subheads anticipated in these Votes. The position in regard to Votes 31 and 34 is as follows:—

Vote 31

Estimated excesses

£

A.1. —

Training Colleges

(1) Grants for general purposes — pay

347,000

C.9. —

Caretakers in national schools

150,000

Total

497,000

These excesses will be met from savings on other subheads within the Vote.

Vote 34

B. —

Special Schools

252,000

C. —

Transport Services

2,000

Total

254,000

These excesses will be met from savings on other subheads within the Vote. I should like to point out that virement is the application, under the specific authority of the Minister for Finance, of savings on one or more subheads to meet excess expenditure on another subhead or subheads in the same Vote including any new subheads opened during the course of the year. It cannot be effected between Votes.
