The new posts shown above are, in the main, a regrading and reclassification of existing posts, consequent upon a review of the Department carried out during 1960, in accordance with the recommendations in the Salaries Commission Report, 1959. The actual increase in overall establishment of 11 posts is accounted for as follows: 2 temporary Senior (female) Printing Officers (offset by 1 Confidential Assistant), 2 Lithog- rapher Pressmen, 2 Lithographers and 4 Senior Bookbinders are required for the increase in Security Printing; 1 Typist is for general office work; and 1 supernumerary Government Printer is required only for the period of the present holder's pre-retirement leave.

The increase of $302,700 under Other Charges Annually Recurrent is almost entirely due to the expanded activities of other departments.
