COMMUNICATION FROM THE BRITISH SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO THE SECRETARY-GENERAL OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
Foreign Office, S.W ., A ugust 4th, 1931,
With reference to your letter C.L.124.1931.IX of June 13th requesting His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom, in accordance with the resolution of the Council of May 23rd last, to furnish information regarding their armaments and expenditure on armaments in the form of the tables annexed to the draft Disarmament Convention and to the report of the Committee of Experts on Budgetary Questions, I am directed by Mr. Secretary Henderson to transmit herewith the returns, in the desired form, in respect of the military, naval and air forces of His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom. 2. The returns contained in Tables I-V annexed to Chapter A of Part I and the return of Budgetary Expenditure for Land Forces relate only to forces under the direct control of, or expenditure directly incurred by, His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom. Small armed land forces or formations organised on a military basis are maintained by the Govern ments of Southern Rhodesia and of certain colonies and dependencies. Returns of these will be furnished to you at the earliest possible moment ; but in view of the remoteness of some °f the territories concerned, it is regretted that they may be slightly delayed. Every effort wiU, however, be made to complete the returns by September 15th. 3- I am to request you to be good enough to communicate copies of this letter and its enclosures as soon as possible to all Members of the League, and to other Governments participating in the Disarmament Conference.
(Signed) A. S. A. L e e p e r .

Notes to Tables V III a n d IX.
Tables V III and IX. Item i. — The average daily effectives of the regular Air Force are calculated from the average monthly strength for the twelve months ending March 31st, 1931, on the assumption that each officer or airman performs 365 days’ service.

The numbers of officers shown include : (a) 129 Naval officers who hold temporary com missions in the Air Force and who are serving as pilots in Fleet Air Arm units ; (b) 69 A rm y officers seconded or otherwise serving with the Air Force.

Table VIII. Item 3. — The average daily effectives of the Auxiliary Air Force and Special Reserve are calculated on the estimated number of days’ training performed during the year. Drills and instructional parades are calculated on the basis of 6 drills =1 day’s training. Table I X . — The figures of officer strength include 28 British officers and 13 British other ranks serving with Iraq levies and Aden Protectorate levies. Table I X . — Personnel serving in India are not included. The average daily number of effectives serving in In d ia in the year ending M arch 31st, 1931, was 2,102 (including 222 officers).

1. The Model Statement has been filled in on the lines laid down in the report of the Budgetary Experts’ Committee and from the published Army Appropriation Account 1929 (the last Account available), except in the following particulars : ■ (a) Expenditure on coast defence is included in military expenditure. Expenditure on this service is borne on Army Votes, and it cannot be isolated from other expenditure. (b) Expenditure by Territorial Army County Associations is taken not from the Army Appropriation Account but from the audited expenditure returns of Territorial Army Associations. This course has been necessary because the Army Appropriation Account does not cover the full expenditure by Territorial Army Associations, which have certain accumulated funds from which expenditure may be made, in addition to the expenditure of the grants made out of Army Estimates and shown in Vote 2.D. and E, of the Army Appropriation Account. — 22 —
(c) No local rates are paid in respect of Territorial Army property ; an estimated sum of £200,000 has therefore been included to represent the amount that would have been paid, if rates were payable on Territorial Army property as they are in the case of other War Department property. (d) The expenditure of other Government Departments on services rendered to the War Department, added in accordance with the instructions for filling up the Model Statement, is taken from pages 14 and 15 of the Parliamentary Paper “ Gross and Net Cost of Public Departments ” for 1929 (House of Commons Paper No. 42). To this have been added the relevant appropriations-in-aid, audited figures for which are available but not separately published. (e) All other figures are based on the figures published in the Army Appropriation Account 1929. In a number of cases the individual Account figures have to be spread over a number of Sub-heads in the Model Statement. In certain cases, audited figures for the detailed amounts so required are available, though not published, and where possible these figures have been used. In other cases no audited figures for the elements of an Account figure required for the Model Statement are available. In these cases esti mates have had to be made of the portions of an Account figure applicable to the Sub heads of the Model Statement concerned. 2. In conformity with the recommendations contained in paragraph 14 of the report of the Budgetary Experts’ Committee and with a view to showing as exactly as possible how the figures printed under the Votes and Sub-heads in the Army Appropriation Account are distributed over the Heads and Sub-heads of the Model Statement, tables are attached to this explanatory statement (Appendix C) showing in parallel columns the Votes and Sub-heads of the Army Account and the Sub-heads of the Model Statement to which they correspond. Explanatory notes, where necessary, are given in the last column of the tables. 3. The reconciliation of the total expenditure on Land Forces, as shown in the Model Statement, with the total gross effective expenditure shown in the Army Appropriation Account is given in Appendix A. A similar reconciliation statement relating to the Annexed Tables of the Model Statement is given in Appendix B.
