MR. BUCHANAN (Perthshire, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the purchase of a church and parsonage at Portsmouth, originally provided under Vote 10 of the Navy Estimates of 1903–4, has now been charged to the Naval Works Loan Fund, what has been the amount paid, and to which sub-head of the schedule of the Naval Works Loan Act of 1903 has this been charged.

*THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. ARTHUR LEE, Hampshire, Fareham)

The purchase of the church and parsonage referred to, for which provision was originally made under Vote 10 of the Navy Estimates 1903–4, will be now provided for under the Naval Works Loan. It will be charged to the item "Portsmouth Naval Barracks," but the purchase has not yet been completed.

MR. BUCHANAN

What was the amount?

*MR. ARTHUR LEE

About £5,000.
