"The Committee have impressed on me the importance of their holding an adequate reserve which can be used for non-recurrent grants, and apart from any in- creased allocation for this purpose that the Committee may wish to make from the annual grant which I propose should be placed at their disposal, this special ad- dition to the Vote for 1936-37 will enable them to earmark for non- recurrent expenditure a larger sum than would othewise be pos- sible..
"Altogether the total sum, to be made available to the University Grants Committee

"The University Grants Commit- tee will in due course be asked to consider in what way the provision placed at their disposal may be best apportioned."
