I move:—
That a supplementary sum not exceeding £44 be granted to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending 31st March, 1944, for the Salaries and Expenses of the Public Record Office, and of the Keeper of State Papers, Dublin (30 & 31 Vict., c. 70; 38 & 39 Vict., c. 59; and 39 & 40 Vict., c. 58), and for the purchase of Historical Documents, etc.
This Supplementary Estimate is occasioned by the grant of an increase in the emergency bonus in accordance with the recent Government decision, and by a minor upgrading of one post in the office.
