-
The Transport, Ports and General Division was set up in the new Department of the Environment in 1971 as part of the Finance, Transport Industries and Central Services Directorate, one of three new Finance Directorates created at that time. By the following year the division was re-named Housing, Ports and General Division. The division was responsible for financial questions relating to research; ports and certain transport industries; housing and ancient monuments.
When the Department of the Environment was split into Environment and Transport Departments in 1976 the prefix became the responsibility of Transport Industries and Investment Division (later to become known as the Transport Industries Division).
By the mid-1980s the prefix appears to have been used by the Central Finance Division and then, when the two departments were merged again in 1997, by the Finance Programmes Division. Finance Advice and Resource Management Division currently use the series.
