Mr. Coates indicated that the petition was submitted to the House at the instance of the Government. The amount involved was in the vicinity of £lO,OOO. The report was tabled. The manufacturing firm of A. J. White has not received full payment for the furnishings of the Chateau through the bankruptcy of the former occupant of the building and the subsequent taking over by the Government.
