The Expenditure Estimates for 1966-67 are generally presented in the same form as those for preceding years, other than that the Public Enquiry Service has been amalgamated with the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs. However, to preserve its individuality as a separate division within that department, provi- sion for the Public Enquiry Service is included in a separate Head. The changes inaugurated in 1965-66 whereunder the Head of Public Works Non-recurrent is broken down into four Heads corresponding to its three major sub-departments, Buildings, Civil Engineering and Waterworks with the fourth Head reserved for expenditure not directly related to these sub-departments and whereunder in the presentation of the Personal Emoluments subhead of each Department financial provision is not made for each item in the subhead for staff but in respect of personal emoluments as a whole, are perpetuated.
