Report of the General Purposes Sub-Committee of the Retrenchment Advisory Committee June 1932

1932

(1) Introductory.—In parts I and II of our Report we have dealt with all central " expenditure under the purview of the General Purposes SuCommittee with the exception of the expenditure under the control of the Foreign and Political Department (including that on the Foreign and Political Department of the Secretariat). [...] In either case the Executive Council is not likely to have the same effective voice in the policy or administration of the department as in the case of other departments though we understand that as a matter of fact the prposals of the department are placed before the Executive Council. [...] But we regret to note that while this was the attitude of the representtive of the Finance Department itself on the Committee towards these activties some members of the Government including the Finance Member hiself the Chairman of the Main Retrenchment Committee sought to discredit generally the work of the General Purposes Sub-Committee in the debates in the Legislative Assembly by [...] Although detailed estimates are prepared the accuracy of the non-voted grants is not guaranteed in the same way as that of voted estimates which are placed before the Legislature in the form of " Demands for Grants ". From the descriptions of the detailed units of appropriation it is not always possible to ascertain the precise direction or objective of the expenditure. [...] Certain classes of expenditure in the agencies and consulates and vice-consulates under the control of the Political Resident Bushire are now " centralised " and appear in the Bushire budget and not in their own budgets Similar important changes have taken place in the expenditure of the Bhutan-Sikkim Agency on the one side and the Gyantse and Yatung Trade Agencies on the other.
