Go ndeontar suim Bhreise ná raghaidh thar £360 chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh lá de Mhárta, 1940, chun Síntiús mar chabhair do Chostaisí Chumann na Náisiún, agus chun Costaisí eile mar gheall air sin.
That a Supplementary sum not exceeding £360 be granted to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending 31st March, 1940, for a Contribution towards the Expenses of the League of Nations, and for other Expenses in connection therewith.
This sum is required owing to the depreciation of the £ in terms of Swiss francs. Our original Estimate for the loss on exchange, I think, was about £2,507, and it has had to be revised owing to a drop from 20 francs to the £ to 17.77 between the time that Estimate was made and the time the payment was made. That meant that there was a sum of £1,280 which had to be met. As against that, there are savings on travelling expenses, etc., which amount to £920, leaving a net sum of £360. I do not think it is necessary to give any further explanation.
