HC Deb 18 February 1941 vol 369 c97

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, 1941, for the salaries and expenses of the Ministry of Home Security."

Mr. Lawson

May we have an explanation of this Supplementary Estimate?

The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Home Security (Mr. Mabane)

This is really no more than a book-keeping transaction. It relates to the receipts in respect of the sales of steel helmets, etc., and will enable the amount which the Ministry of Home Security Vote will require to draw from the Vote of Credit to be reduced proportionately by the appropriation of these receipts. Question put, and agreed to.
