As regards the year 1965-66, the estimated net receipts are £3,850,000. The approximate net receipts for that year will not be available until 6th April, 1966. If the Deputy requests this information after that date, I will be glad to supply it.
Figures for the year 1965-66 in respect of the headings referred to in the second paragraph of the reply to Question No. 98 of 8th April, 1964 will not be available until about 23rd May, 1966. If the Deputy puts down a question after that date, I will then be in a position to supply the figures.
