The revised estimate for 1967-68 shows a net increase of $1,445,700 over the approved estimate, mainly as a result of a sum of $1,247,900 being provided by supplementary provision during the year to meet expenditure arising from the construction of an extra parking deck at the Ocean Terminal.
The increase in the estimate for 1968-69 is largely accounted for by enhanced subventions to the Hong Kong Productivity Council and Productivity Centre, the Hong Kong Tourist Association and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council.

The revised 1967-68 estimate exceeds the approved provision by $63,400. This is mainly attribut- able to the creation by supplementary provision of a new subhead under Other Charges Special Expenditure for computer bureau charges in connexion with the revision of the Widows' and Orphans' Pensions Scheme. The revision is scheduled to be completed within 1967-68 and as a result the Special Expenditure estimate for 1968-69 reflects a net decrease of $62,600.

In 1967-68 in addition to the $34,050,000 and the $5,000,000 provided for recurrent and non- recurrent subventions under this Head there was also an amount of $8,500,000 and $1,500,000 included in Head 36-Education Department, for recurrent and non-recurrent subventions respectively. All subventions to the Universities (except that made by the Medical and Health Department under Head 74 for clinical pathology) are now included in this Head.
The lower revised estimate of recurrent expenditure in 1967-68 is due to the fact that payments to the Universities on recurrent subvention are reduced by their savings in 1966-67. The high figure for Special Expenditure in 1968-69 reflects an increased subvention to the Universities of which the cost of site formation of The Chinese University of Hong Kong takes up a large proportion-$11,330,000.
