SUMMARY- continued

Consequently the recovery by the Consolidated Fund from the Government Superannuation Fund has been abolished.

(a) State Hydro-electric expenditure and receipts are not charged to or credited to the Ordinary Revenue Account. " Estimated " and " Actual Receipts " shown here relate to licence fees from privately-operated hydro-electric generating plants. (b) In order to eliminate a considerable amount of detailed accounting procedure (which has no overall effect on the Consolidated Fund) the following action has been taken : (1) Minor interdepartmental claims are not now being rendered between non-trading Departments operating within the Consolidated Fund. (2) Ministry of Works does not recover from non-trading Departments for rents and maintenance costs of buildings, offices, and equipment. (3) All expenditure on defence construction and maintenance is now a final charge against vote, " Maintenance of Public Works and Services, Subdivision No. VII." The former practice was to charge this expenditure to a suspense item of this vote and then recover the amount from armed service votes.
