The increase in Other Charges Annually Recurrent for 1969-70 is due mainly to the Printing and Stationery Supplies vote where a larger provision is required to meet increased demands for printing and stationery requirements for Government departments as a result of expanding activities.
Items under Special Expenditure are all revotes due to late deliveries.

The increase in the revised estimates under Other Charges Annually Recurrent for 1968-69 is due to the higher cost for food, as the daily average prison population at about 6,600 was greater than anticipated, and to the introduction of new scales of winter clothing and the provision of extra blankets for prisoners.
It is unlikely that the prison population will fall much below the level of the current year in the near future and provisions for Other Charges Annually Recurrent for 1969-70 therefore show an increase over the approved provision for 1968-69.
Included under Special Expenditure for 1969-70 is a provision of $155,300 for laundry equip- ment for various Training Centres and Chi Ma Wan Prison.
