There had been allegations of in accuracies, notably in the Memorandu issued by the Admiralty, but the alle gations contained in that document had not been proved. On the information which was given them and on sucb infor mation as had been made public since, on broad lines his colleagues and him self could find no material way in which they thought that either their Report was wrong or that it could not be actel upon.

What had the Government been able to do The Government showed a re duction of 218,000,000 on the whole bud | geted expenditure on supply services. Of this, £75,000,000 was offered by the departments themselves prior to the ap pointment of a Committee. £24,000,000 was due to the setting up of the Irish Free State, and, roughly, $72,000,000 wis a falling off in Supplementary Estimates, which was anticipated during the year. This left only some £50,000,000 further actual economy on, recurrent services effected after the Committee had been Met up 1.

The Committee recomiended means of reducing the expenditure of £500,000,000 by $100,000,000. The Government had given effect to reductions of £52,000,000.
