Administrative / biographical background

Prior to 1967 the Public Income/Outlay Division was responsible for the Treasury Officer of Accounts and Estimates Clerk. In 1967 the General Expenditure Division came into existence responsible for looking after public expenditure and public receipts in relation to each other and the national economy. It was within this division that the Estimate Clerk worked. In particular their parliamentary work fitted naturally into the work of the General Expenditure Division, but used a separate file registration system.
