Minister for Justice (Mr. Traynor):
I move:
That a supplementary sum not exceeding £4,700 be granted to defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1961, for the Expenses of Prisons, St. Patrick's, and the Maintenance of Prisoners confined [1151] in District Mental Hospitals (17 & 18 Vict., c. 76; 34 & 35 Vict., c. 112, sec. 6; 40 & 41 Vict., c. 49; 47 & 48 Vict., c. 36; 61 & 62 Vict., c. 60; 1 Edw. 7, c. 17, sec. 3; 8 Edw. 7, c. 59; 4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 58; and No. 9 of 1956).
This Supplementary Estimate is due mainly to pay increases secured by certain grades of prison officers under the Scheme of Conciliation and Arbitration for the Civil Service, and to expenditure in the escort and conveyance of prisoners being greater than expected. Altogether the total sum required is £5,300 but savings on other Subheads have contributed to reducing the total to a net sum of £4,700.
