§ 104. Mr. Austinasked the Minister of Defence what is the estimated saving effected in the current financial year by the recently announced accelerated demobilisation schedules.
§ Mr. AlexanderIt would be very difficult to make any precise estimate but the saving in the current financial year will not be very large. The great bulk of the acceleration in release is taking place late in the year and this will occasion extra terminal expenditure in the current financial year on such items as transportation and release leave.
