The Expenditure Estimates for 1965-66 are generally presented in the same form as those for preceding years, except that consequent upon the combination of the Departments of Agriculture and Forestry with Co-operative Development and Fisheries, there is now a single Head for the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries. There is a further change in that the single Head of Public Works Non-Recurrent has been broken down into four Heads corresponding to the three major sub-departments of the Public Works Depart- ment that is Buildings, Civil Engineering, and Waterworks, with a fourth Head for Public Works Department— Headquarters for expenditure not directly related to the activities of these three sub-departments. In the presentation of the Personal Emoluments Estimates for each Department separate provision is not now made for each item in the subhead for staff. The financial provision is for Personal Emoluments as a whole with separate provision for allowances only.
