In connection with land settlement, the term "Budget Estimate" originated with the former Congested Districts Board. It was the name of the official form on which the financial provisions were approved for proposed schemes for resale of congested estates.
For many years, the term has been similarly used in the Land Commission in relation to proposed schemes for rearrangement of holdings in intermixed plots.
The expenditure approved on Budget Estimate No. 161/23 totalled £810 for fencing, road-work, drainage and out-offices.
I did not hear the Minister at one stage. Under which subhead does it come?
Under subhead I— Improvement of Estates. There is a separate estimate for each of these jobs.
