Supplementary Estimate and House approval
Desmond sought a debate and Supplementary Estimate, objecting that payments were being made without House approval; Colley said he would bring proposals forward when possible.
May I ask the Minister when we may have an opportunity of debating in a more elaborate manner their pre-election guarantees to certain individuals? When will we have a Supplementary Estimate circulated?

I have informed the House about that. The Deputy is adding nothing to our store of knowledge by that statement. The fact is I do not have available at my fingertips the date on which this would come in. It depends on some factors outside my control but the Deputy can rest assured that as soon as it is possible for me to bring before the House proposals for the Supplementary Estimate that will be done.
