Estimates-1962 — Page 189

As a result of the transfer of responsibility for fisheries the following changes in titles of Heads of Expenditure were approved during 1960/61:-

Head 22 from Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry Department to Agriculture and Forestry

Department

Head 28 from Co-operative Development Department to Co-operative Development and

Fisheries Department.

The functions of the Quartering Office have been redistributed, in the interests of efficiency and economy, between the Colonial Secretariat and the Rating and Valuation Department. The vote for the Quar- tering Office has accordingly been deleted. The Heads of Expenditure for the Essential Services Corps and the Directorate of Manpower have also been combined as the two units are in the same premises and operate under one Head of Department.

Pending the enactment of legislation it is proposed to separate immigration work from the other functions of the Police Force. The estimates of the Immigration Department are accordingly shown separately in a new Police Force vote. The setting up of the Public Enquiry Service as a new department has also necessitated the creation of another expenditure head.

The following table shows the relationship between Personal Emoluments, Other Charges Annually Recurrent and Special Expenditure for the four years ending 31st March, 1961:—
