That a Supplementary sum not exceeding £2,000 be granted to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending 31st March, 1940, for Bounties on sugar made from home-grown beet on which drawback is paid, tobacco manufactured from home-grown leaf on which drawback is paid, tobacco grown in Éire after 1st January, 1934, allocated to a manufacturer and subsequently destroyed as unfit for manufacture and unmanufactured tobacco grown in Éire and exported.
The main purpose of this Supplementary Estimate is to provide for bounties payable on unmanufactured tobacco grown in Éire and exported— sub-head B. The total amount required for the purpose is £5,000, of which £3,000 will be met by savings on sub-head A. When the original Estimate for 1939-40 was prepared in December, 1938, it was estimated that of a total quantity of 394,000 lbs. weight, approximately, of unmanufactured tobacco grown in Éire in the years 1934, 1935 and 1936, permitted to be exported, about 180,000 lbs. weight would be exported before 31st March, 1939, and, consequently, would rank for payment of compensation bounty in the financial year 1938-39. Actually, only 59,000 lbs. weight of the tobacco in question was exported up to March, 1939, so that payment of compensation bounty on the balance of 121,000 lbs. weight became due in this financial year instead of last year, and the money provided in the previous year was carried over.
