Cmd. 1665. 1. Departmental expenditiire (other tBan Consolidated Fund charges under Statute) is met from two main sources, (1) supply grants, (2) receipts appropriated ni aid. Both supply grants and appropriations in aid are authorised by Parliament each year, but circumstances tend to concentrate attention mainly on supply grants ; that is to say, on the net estimates of" the year. In order to measure the actual total expenditure of Public Departments, the more significant figures are the (/russ estimates, i.e., the total of supply grants and appropriations in aid combined, as these figures represent the total cash sums placed by Parliament at the disposal of Departments.* A certain amount of duplication is involved by interdepartmental payments, principally for the cost of production by the Ordnance Factories for the Fighting Departments, and payments to Army and Air Votes from the ]\Iiddle East Vote. Table I gives, under certain main heads, the figures of (jross expenditure for each financial year from 1913-14 to 1922-23. 2. Table II compares the net provision in the original pre-war estimates for the financial year 1914-15 for Civil Services with the provision made under the same heads in the Estimates for 1922-3. 3. Table III gives particulars of the total personnel of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and of the staffs (other than indus- trial) employed in Government Departments before the war, at the date of the armistice, and at various more recent dates. * The gross estimates for Supply Services for 1922-23 shown in Talile I amount to £G0[),675,000. The expenditure will be met by supply grants of £54(), 031,000 and by receipts of £63,044,000 appropriated in aid, as follows :— Gross Estimates. Receipts. Appropriated in Aid. Supply Grants.

It should be observed that provision previously made for Irish Services disappears in 1922-23, except as regards the following classes of expenditure : — (i) Reserved Services in Northern Ireland, including the cost of administering the Post Office, Income Tax, Customs and Excise, etc., which are borne in the first place by the Imperial Exchequer, the total cost being recoverable by deduction from the Northern Irish share of reserved taxation. (ii) Agency Services performed under Section 63 of the Government of Ireland Act, 1920, for the Government of Northern Ireland, the cost being repaid and appro- priated in aid of the Vote concerned. (iii) Imperial Services both in Northern and Southern Ireland, notably War Pensions. Treasury Chambers, 15th May, 1922. 487612 TABLE I.
