§ Mr. SandysThe accounts for the year ending 31st March, 1964, are not yet ready. The company cannot complete its accounts for the year ending 31st March 1963, until C. H.

The issue of loans within the approved total for the development of the dockyard does not depend on the profit or loss at a given time.
