Mr FORDE (Capricornia)
.- As a party, we have an objection to the provisions of clause 3 which provides -
Section fi of the principal act is amended by adding at the end thereof the following words : - ", and for buildings, works and sites (including shore bases and marine facilities), radio, aeronautical and direction-finding equipment and control and auxiliary launches in connexion with the scheme known as the Empire air mail scheme".
That clause is all right so far as it relates to moneys in the Civil Aviation Trust Account to be used for buildings, works, sites and so on, but then we are asked to agree to the fund being used to carry out work in connexion with the proposed Empire air mail scheme, which Parliament has not yet ratified. Can the Treasurer (Mr. Casey) give the committee an assurance that the sum of £200,000, which I understand was voted in the Works Estimates, and is to be paid under this bill to the credit of the Civil Aviation Trust Account out of the moneys standing to the credit of the Defence Equipment -Trust Account, will not bo spent on an Empire air mail scheme until Parliament has had an apportunity to consider that project in all its aspects ? It seems to me quite unnecessary to make provision for that expenditure at this stage, for a scheme which Parliament has not yet ratified. We desire to hear more about it, and the Treasurer may shorten the debate if he gives the committee an assurance on the lines I have indicated.
