HC Deb 28 February 1922 vol 151 c229
11. Lieut.-Colonel POWNALL

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Army Estimates are still prepared under the pre-War Vote headings, whilst Appropriation Accounts are prepared under the heading of units and establishments; and if he will take steps to see that both sets of figures are prepared on the same basis?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)

No, Sir. The Army Estimates are now prepared in the new form approved on the recommendation of the National Expenditure Committee of 1917, and the Accounts follow the form of the Estimates.
