APPENDIX XVIII.

RECEIPTS FROM STAFF AND PASSENGER HOSTELS.

The staff hostels are under the control of the Airport Manager. All receipts by way of rent are credited direct to Appropriations in Aid (Receipts from Staff Hostels) while expenditure forms part of the General Management costs and is provided for in Subheads A. J. and K.

The Catering Controller is responsible for the management of the Passenger Hostels for which he receives a fee of £200 per annum. Separate accounts are kept in respect of these hostels. The Accounts, which are furnished twice a year and are subject to audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General, show gross receipts by way of rent and the costs of operating the hostels. Any surplus of income over expenditure is remitted by the Catering Comptroller and brought to credit as Appropriations in Aid (Receipts from Passenger Hostels).

One of the Passenger Hostels occupied by staff, which was under the control of the Airport Manager, was, in 1950, transferred to the management of the Catering Controller as a measure of convenience. The Catering Controller receives no additional remuneration for this. All receipts and expenses in connection with this hostel have since been included in the Passenger Hostels Accounts.
