§ DR. KENNY (Dublin, College Green)said, he begged to move for unopposed Return No. 3.
§
Motion for—
Return of the sums expended by the Trustees and Director of the National Gallery from 1884–5 to 1894, in the purchase of pictures from moneys provided by Parliament (in the
34
same form as, and in continuation of, Supplement A to the Annual Report of the Director of the National Gallery to the Treasury for the year 1884)."—(Dr. Kenny.)
§ MR. COURTNEY (Cornwall, Bodmin)said, that if the Return was to be granted at all it should be complete. The hon. Member only referred to expenditure out of "moneys provided by Parliament," but the House ought to know the sums spent out of endowments, and also the bequests received.
§ DR. KENNYsaid, he had no objection, but he did not know whether the Financial Secretary to the Treasury would consent to enlarge the Return.
§ * MR. SPEAKERThe form may be amended to-morrow, and the Return then taken as unopposed.
§ Return deferred.
