That a sum not exceeding £16,590 be granted to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1956, for the Salaries and Expenses of the State Laboratory.
The total provision of £24,890 represents an increase of £4,640 on the amount provided in 1954-55. The increase is due mainly to the provision of extra staff and to certain improved salary scales.
