Minister of State at the Department of Defence

My Department does not receive staged or incremental payments in the manner referenced in this question, however, certain individual receipts processed through normal financial or payroll channels are received as Appropriation’s-in-Aid throughout the year.

Examples of Appropriation’s-in-Aid received in the Defence Vote would include the following;

- Receipts from Occupation of Official Quarters - (Through Payroll)

- Receipts from Rations and other Issues on Repayment – (Through Payroll)

- Pension Related Deductions from Defence Sector Personnel (Through Payroll)

- Receipts for the letting of Land and Premises (Payment by Individuals).

- Receipts from Discharge by Purchase (Payment by Individuals)
