In addition, the cost of adminis- tration amounted to £1,096,373 making Д total expenditure £26,444,614. The income from in- surance contributions was £24,075,- 487, leaving n deficiency of £2,368,- 126, which was met by transfers from the Treasury Pensions Ac- count.
The investments held by the National Debt Commissioners. on behalf of the Treasury Pensions Account as at. March 31, 1980, re- present cash to the amount of £16,119,876, 08 compared with £42,791,415 in the preceding year.
