(а) Subsequent to payment being made to the Working Capital Fund of United Nations according to the interim scale, a revised scale was introduced for both the Working Capital Fund and the annual contribution. This reduced considerably the amount New Zealand was required to pay, and the surplus paid to the Working Capital Fund was more than sufficient to meet the annual contribution. The balance was carried forward to the second annual contribution, so that the amount payable by New Zealand in the current year is only £27,562 ($88,746), instead of the full contribution of £46,626 ($137,250). (б) United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization's budget was extended last year to cover a period of eighteen months up to 31st December, 1947, so that the financial year would coincide with that of United Nations. It is not anticipated that any payment in respect of the financial year commencing on the Ist January, 1948, will come to charge in New Zealand prior to the Ist April, 1948.

(a) The decision of the United Nations to have its headquarters in New York made it necessary to establish an office in New York to deal with work of the Economic and Social Council, to which New Zealand has been elected for three years. It was also necessary to provide office accommodation and staff for New Zealand representatives attending meetings of the General Assembly and other organs of the United Nations. This need was met by leasing more office space and supplying extra clerical staff for the New Zealand Consulate-General, thus combining the administrative arrangements of the two offices.
