§ Mr. W. THORNEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the cargo of frozen meat aboard the steamship "Ruahine," which left Wellington on 12th March, 1915, was valued at £24,562; whether he will state what the Government realised for the same when sold; and what were the main headings of the expenses incurred in realization?
Mr. RUNCIMANI do not consider it expedient to disclose particulars relating to individual cargoes. All the accounts are being examined by the Exchequer and Audit Department in the usual way.
