§ 6. Mr. GILBERTasked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether steps have yet been taken to distribute the proceeds from the exhibition of submarine U C 5; and, if so, what institutions have received grants?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe number of persons who paid for admission to view the submarine at Temple Pier and at Chatham was 320,041. The total receipts amounted to £3,945 8s. 1½d., and the total expenses to £307 3s. 8d., thus leaving available for distribution a net amount of £3,638 4s. 5½d. An amount of £504 17s. 8d. was received from the Director-General of Voluntary Organisations, representing a contribution from the Government Servants' One Day's Pay Fund, Colombo, for distribution to Naval charities. It was decided that this amount might properly be added, for the purpose of distribution, to the receipts from the exhibition of the submarine, thus bringing the grand total to £4,143 2s. 1½d. Of this amount the sum of £143 2s. 11d. has been handed over to the Metropolitan and City Police Orphanage, in recognition of the services rendered by the police in connection with the exhibition. The sum of £2,000 has been handed over to the Board of Trade for distribution among institutions established for the benefit of the mercantile 1424 marine. The remaining £2,000 has been distributed in the form of grants to the following institutions:
