Total of subhead E (3) Vote 36 rounded to £100,000.
Has the Minister a total figure, apart from the details?
It runs at about £100,000 in each subhead.
For each subhead?
Yes, but I should like to enlarge on that slightly. There were some savings made under Marine Works this year through lack of engineering staff.
That is a nice way of putting it.
