asked the Minister for Defence whether he is aware that a sum of £11 is due to Mr. Peter Hoey, Newtown, Moate, in respect of motor hire incurred by the Military, and if he will take steps to expedite payment of this amount.

A bill for motor hire amounting to £4 is at present being checked for payment. No further account appears to have been received at G.H.Q., but enquiries are being made in the matter.
