*Estimate shows receipts up to 18 June 2002 in respect of subheads transferring to other Departments.
#Estimate shows anticipated receipts from 19 June 2002 in respect of subheads transferring to the Department of Transport.
The 2002 Estimate, which is in respect of the newly formed Department of Transport, is not directly comparable to the 2001 Department of Public Enterprise Vote.
