§ 47. Mr. MARLEYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether any expense will fall upon the Treasury in connection with the flood-lighting of public buildings, either in respect of equipment or supplies of current?
§ Major ELLIOTI would refer the hon. Member to my reply of the 15th September to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for West Dorset (Major Colfox).
§ Mr. MARLEYWill the hon. and gallant Gentleman take particular care that the cost of the current supplied does not come on to the ordinary charges for the maintenance of public buildings?
§ Major ELLIOTThe reply which was given previously on this point is still accurate, namely, that no part of the expenditure will fall upon the Exchequer.
§ Mr. MARLEYWill the hon. and gallant Gentleman take into consideration the suggestion in my supplementary question. Have separate meters been put in for measuring the current for this lighting; and will he see that nothing of the cost will come upon the Exchequer in a roundabout manner?
§ Major ELLIOTI shall certainly take note of that suggestion.
