Civil Measures for Defence.

All expenditure in the above connection is carefully scrutinised by the Defence branch of the Secretariat. Much of it is urgent and cannot be delayed for detailed examination on the financial side though certain matters are referred to the Financial Secretary. Every care is taken to ensure that only expenditure on civil defence measures is charged to these votes.
