HC Deb 15 March 1963 vol 673 cc205-6W
Miss Vickers

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty how a decrease of £1,160,000 is to be effected in 1963–64 Estimates under the heading of "Miscellaneous Effective Services"; and what items are included in this category.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

Full details of the expenditure covered by the Miscellaneous Effective Services Vote (Navy Vote 9) are given on pages 26, 27 and 28 of the Navy Estimates 1963–64. As explained in the footnote on page 28, and on page 39 of the Memorandum to accompany Navy Estimates 1963–64, the main reason for the decrease in this Vote is that accommodation charges for married quarters are credited to it in 1963–64 for the first time. Additionally, substantial savings will be made in the cost of external naval training and travelling expenses.
