STORES

56. All Allocated and Unallocated Stores were completely checked by the staff of this Department in March, 1963. With the exception of light fuel diesel oil the physical stock and ledger balances were found to be in order.

57. The accumulated deficiency of light fuel diesel oil was 1,329 imperial gallons for the past two years ending 31st March, 1963. This figure, when compared with the deficiency of the previous year, shows a gain of 893 imperial gallons of oil during the year. The gain was attributed to the variation in temperature between issues and receipts. The stock and ledger balances have now been adjusted and the loss written off.
