Mr ROBERTS (Adelaide) (Honorary Minister) (2:16 AM) . - I shall direct the attention of the Minister of Defence to the points raised by the honorable members for Brisbane and Moreton with respect to the weight of clothing that boys are asked to wear in the semi-tropical parts of the Commonwealth, with a view to seeing whether he can possibly make an alteration. As to the other point raised bythe honorable member for Moreton, we have on the table a Bill which has already received the unanimous approval of the Senate, and in which the Minister takes power to allow boys to abstain from drill if they are situated a certain distance from where the parade is to take place. I think that will meet the whole difficulty raised by the honorable member.

Proposed vote agreed to.
