HC Deb 29 November 1966 vol 737 c45W
19. Mr. Ellis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the expenditure of over £1 million annually on meteorological services, as shown in the Civil Estimates Class IV, Vote 11, he will so amend the form of the Estimates as to give more information as to the allocation of this sum.

Mr. MacDermot

No. As the note in the Estimates indicates, nearly all the expenditure is in respect of the costs of Ministry of Defence staff providing meteorological services to Civil Aviation.
