The grant of £30 to the School of Oriental Studies, London, for the year 1931 was provided for in 1931 Estimates and instructions were issued to the Crown Agents in November, 1930, to make the necessary payment early in the present year.
Inadvertently the Crown Agents paid the grant in December of last year and it becomes necessary to ask for a vote of $493 to cover this item.
The amount provided in the current estimates will lapse. (C.S.O. 4204/13).
