§ Mr. LAWSONasked the Secretary of State for Air what has been the total expenditure on the Air Force, apart from demobilisation, in each theatre, including Ireland and this country, since the Armistice?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThis information could be obtained only after a great amount of calculation and research out of all proportion to the value of the result and in view of the depleted staff available for work of this nature. I would ask the hon. Member not to press for an answer.
§ Mr. GLANVILLEasked the Secretary of State for Air what is the present monthly rate of expenditure on the Air Force in Ireland?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe estimated monthly rate of expenditure on the Royal Air Force in Ireland is £37,000. Of this amount £8,700 represents additional expenditure due to existing conditions in Ireland.
