LETTERS TO CABINET MINISTERS
Dear Mr.
The Cabinet discussed at a recent meeting the manner in which Ministers
should account for moneys advanced and expended for travelling on official
business.
In accordance with the decisions reached as a result of our
discussions, I would ask that in the future you account for moneys
advanced to cover travelling expenses by submitting for each trip a
statement under two headings:
(a) transportation expenses (if any); and
(b) other expenses.
The statement should also include the period covered by the trip and
the places visited.
The statement, which should be sent to your Chief Treasury Officer,
should be certified by you as follows:
"I certify that the foregoing expenditures have been incurred by
me on official business."
(signed).....................
The difference between the amount of the advance and the amount covered
by your certificate should be returned to your Chief Treasury Officer in
the form of cash or your personal cheque.
Yours sincerely,
(Sgd.) W. L. Gordon.
