We now realise the spirit in which this Department and the Department with which it is associated come to this House. It is only, I think, something less than four months ago since we were called upon to pass the original Estimate in which there appeared this sum of £100 for ship repairing work, £1,900 for fuel, light and water, making altogether, with the amount of the Vote under sub-head A, a total Vote of something like £17,000. Within three months we are asked to increase that by £2,500, and in respect of one of the items we are asked to increase it by something more than 125 per cent. over the original Estimate. In order, as it were, to cover up the absolutely loose way in which this Department handled public monies, we are told that there will be, in respect of sub-head B, a total saving of £3,500. Now we find that so far from there having been any sort of saving, actually realisable assets to the value of £2,568 have been sold, and so far to date there has been only credited against this Estimate, a sum of £2,500. In addition, a certain sum of money amounting to £1,887 has been received as a result of the hire of a tug, but the net effect of it is this, that whereas we were told in order to provide fuel, light and water on that island for a certain number of people the State was to spend £1,900, we are asked now to increase that Estimate to £4,200. In addition the fact is concealed from the House, or would have been concealed from the House were it not for the "silly questions" that were put, that a sum of £2,157 had been received but had not been admitted in the Supplementary Estimate.
