Middle Eastern services estimate, a supplementary estimate will be required. You thought that it might be possible for any excess over the amount of £900,000 to be advance temporarily from the civil contingencies fund and that the supplementary amount required could be included in the next March supplementary estimate. Perhaps you will confirm

whether this is, in fact, the position.

I am sending a copy of this letter to Bryant : to warn him of the possibility of a supplementary estimate being required.

Yours sincerely,
