HC Deb 13 April 1899 vol 69 c1001

I now turn to the expenditure. I provided for £106,829,000 in my Budget. There were Supplementary Estimates of £1,986,000, but from them savings of £666,000 have to be deducted, spread over almost every head of the Estimates, so that the net expenditure amounted to £108,150,000. This, deducted from the revenue, £108,336,000, shows a realised surplus for last year of £186,000. You must add, of course, to that expenditure £9,521,000 paid to the local taxation account in aid of rates, £1,843,000 borrowed on capital account for telephones, barracks, guns and the Uganda Railway, and other purposes; and £1,710,000 issued out of the Exchequer from former surpluses for naval and military works. The total aggregate expenditure provided for by the State last year will then amount to £121,224,000.
