§ 69. Mr. Turtonasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that the estimates of the Ministry of Agriculture for the years 1947–48, 1948 –49 and 1949 –50 inaccurately included as credits internal payments between one committee department and another, he will now draw the attention of all Government Departments to the necessity of excluding from estimated appropriations in aid such internal transfers.
§ Mr. TurtonDoes that mean that the hon. Gentleman is satisfied that these standing instructions are working, when for three years these inaccuracies have occurred?
§ Mr. JayI understand that my right hon. Friend is taking steps to see that these instructions are observed.
