HC Deb 11 March 1930 vol 236 c1109
63. Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that in the Civil Estimates the Committee of Imperial Defence and Economic Advisory Council are treated as one estimate under Class 1, Vote 4 B1, so that it is impossible to dissociate one from the other or to discuss them separately; and whether, in view of the different services they perform, he will give directions for separate estimates to be shown?

Mr. PETHICK - LAWRENCE

Subhead B1 of the Treasury Vote relates to the Offices of the Cabinet, Committee of Imperial Defence and Economic Advisory Council. This grouping is necessitated by the fact that several of the officers whose salaries are borne on the sub-head perform services for more than one of these bodies.
