The revised estimates of 1968-69 exceeds the approved estimates under both Other Charges Annually Recurrent, and Other Charges Special Expenditure. In the former case it is due to the provision of transport in connexion with Government sponsored delivery of explosives to quarries; and in the latter it is due to the establishment of the C.A.S. Cadet Corps and the C.A.S. Mountain Rescue Teams.
The increase under Other Charges Annually Recurrent of the 1969-70 estimates over the approved estimates of 1968-69 is mainly due to the enlargement of the scope of C.A.S. training activities to include mountain rescue training and to the provision of additional items of uniform to C.A.S. volunteer members.
The 1969-70 provision under Special Expenditure represents the operational expenses of the present two C.A.S. Cadet Corps units and a revote of $35,800 for the purchase of two new Pick-Up Land Rovers.

The Annually Recurrent revised estimate for 1968-69 is $1,635,800 less than the approved estimate due largely to work in hand which will not be paid for by 31st March, 1969 and delays in delivery of electrical and mechanical stores and equipment for the maintenance of services works. One of the reasons for the decrease of $3.1 million under Special Expenditure is the delayed start of a number of large projects in the Services Building Programme for the Army, on which work is expected to start in 1969-70.
The Special Expenditure estimate for 1969-70 includes additional provision for improvements to the frontier area and non-recurrent defence works under subheads controlled by the Defence Secretary, and an enlarged programme of capital works for the Army, Navy and Air Force which are fully reimbursable under the Defence Costs Agreement.
