Mr. Jay

Issues have been made to the Civil Contingencies Fund from the Consolidated Fund to finance advances from the Civil Contingencies Fund in aid of Votes, in anticipation of the Supplementary Estimates presented to Parliament on 7th March last. Details of the separate advances from the Civil Contingencies Fund in aid of Votes are noted in the Supplementary Estimates.
