Lord StanleyI have not yet received any copy of the speech to which the hon. Member refers, but, on the receipt of a copy, I will arrange for it to be placed in the Library of the House.
§ Mr. ManderIs the Minister aware that the Prime Minister of New Zealand said that when it came to compulsion they would not start with flesh and blood; and will he convey that idea to the British Cabinet?
§ 12. Mr. Dayasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs the figures that Canada and the Union of South Africa have agreed to expend for the current year upon either naval and/or air defence?
Lord StanleyThe provision made in the current Canadian Estimates for naval and air defence is as follows: Naval, $6,639,232; Air, $11,686,517. These figures do not include any part of the cost of headquarters administration. I understand that the Estimates of the Union of South Africa for 1938–39, are not yet available, but I will make inquiries on the subject and will communicate with the hon. Member.
