There will be, therefore, a great variation in detail from the Estimates which I presented. The Budget estimate of expenditure was £1,418,300,000, of which I think the House should remember that the big figure of £234,000,000 is not expenditure in the ordinary sense, but repayment of debt. The actual estimate of expenditure in the ordinary sense was £1,184,300,000, which included a sum of £20,000,000 for Supplementary Estimates to be presented in the course of the year. Supplementary Estimates have already been presented for sums required by the Civil Service over and above this amount to the extent of £10,000,000, by the Navy and Air Force to the extent of £8,000,000.
