Senator PEARCE (WESTERN AUSTRALIA) - A few days ago

I asked the Minister of Defence whether, before we came to deal with the Appropriation (Works and Buildings) Bill, or at an early stage of its consideration, he would furnish the Senate with the details of the proposed expenditure on Naval Bases, at present set out in a lump sum. The honorablesenator promised that he would. May I ask if he will take an opportunity this afternoon to keep his promise ?
