Captain TERRELLasked the Prime Minister if he can state the amount of Departmental economies which have been introduced and actually carried out by the Departments themselves, irrespective of the Geddes Reports, since September last?
Mr. YOUNGIt is not possible so to separate the economies which have been and are now being carried out, irrespective of the Geddes Committee, from those which result from the Geddes Committee without an entirely disproportionate ex- 69W penditure of time and labour. Every possible economy is being put into effect at the earliest possible date.
