The increases in Personal Emoluments and Other charges during 1930 and 1931 were in great part due to the fall in Exchange.
The average exchange for 1929 was 1/10⅘; 1930, 1/4½; 1931, 1/0⅓.
The sterling equivalents of the expenditure on Personal Emoluments and Other charges for the three years were therefore: 1929, £150,849-6-7; 1930, £148,284-1-1; 1931, £123,344-12-5.
