MISCELLANEOUS LEGAL BUILDINGS, GREAT BRITAIN.

Excess.

Statement of
Sub-Heads

A. and G.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL.

1. EXPENDITURE in excess of the Estimate has taken place under Sub-Heads A., B., D., and H.

2. A Statement of Expenditure on "New Works, &c." is appended to the Account. New Works, The expenditure included under Sub-Head A. upon works for which there was no provision in the Estimate, and upon works in excess of the sums provided, has been sanctioned by the Treasury in all necessary cases.

Surplus.

With reference to the last case it is observed that, although the buildings to be erected on this site apparently include Inland Revenue Offices as well as a new County Court, the whole cost of the site (1,0201.) has, under Treasury directions, been charged to Miscellaneous Legal Buildings.

The Statement shows also the detail of expenditure upon works in connection with Sheriff Court Houses, Scotland, Sub-Head G. It will be seen that out of a total Vote of 4,450l. for this Sub-Head, the sum of 317. 188. 9d. only has been expended, no payment being made out of the sums of 1,750l. and 2,000l. provided towards a moiety of the cost of alterations and extension of the Court Houses at Ayr and Glasgow respectively, for the reasons given in the Statement of Expenditure on New Works.

3. The Amount to be Surrendered is, as shown by the Account, 1,380l. 118. 9d.

[blocks in formation]

EXPLANATION of the Causes of Variation between Expenditure and Grant.
