asked the Minister for Education the sums of money spent, according to the monthly returns, on each subhead in Votes 30 and 31 in 1981 up to 31 May, 30 June, 31 July, 31 August, 30 September, 31 October and 30 November; where savings were made; and what the savings have been or will be spent.

The information requested by the Deputy is given in the form of a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, will be circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:

OFFICE OF THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION—Vote 30

Savings on Subheads C.1; D.1; D.2; D.11; F.3; and G.1 were made and were utilised in the Supplementary Estimate for Vote 30.

PRIMARY — Vote 31

Savings are estimated to arise in subheads C.1, C.8, C.10 and E and provide for an expected excess in subheads A,1 and C.9.

Could I direct the Minister's attention to Vote 30, subhead D11, and ask him what happened to the £2.1 million provided in the Book of Estimates as a capital service according to a footnote, while he showed almost that much of a saving when introducing a Supplementary Estimate?

There was no expenditure on that subhead at any stage during the year.

Would the Minister like to say where that almost £2.1 million was transferred to?

That arises on subsequent Questions on the Order Paper.
