§ and Men, not exceeding 50,000, be employed for the Sea and Coastguard Services, for the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1917."
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)This is a Supplementary Estimate for 1916–17. We are authorised to raise 350,000, but we have already gone beyond that, and we now come to Parliament for the necessary authority. That is the 1983 maximum number we are entitled to raise, and we shall continue to join these men. If our requirements necessitate a further provision we shall, of course, have to bring in a Supplementary Estimate.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Motion made and Question proposed, "That a Supplementary sum, not exceeding £10, be granted to His Majesty, to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1917, for additional Expenditure on the Wages, etc., of Officers, Seamen, Boys, Coastguard, and Royal Marines."
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThis is a Supplmentary Estimate for 1916 –17, the result of the Token Vote system. I explained in full detail on March 1st last year the reasons for a precisely similar Vote. We are authorised in Token Estimates to spend £100 under each Vote, and these amount to £1,700 in all. We estimate to receive not £l,700, but £17,000,000. To use that, we must get Parliamentary sanction, and for that purpose we bring this Vote before the House as a Token Vote of £10.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Resolutions to be reported To-morrow; Committee to sit again To-morrow.
