| AdminHistory | In 1961, the Priority Expenditure Committee was established as a full committee. Prior to this, the function had remained a part of the Finance Committee's remit (see BCC 1/AH), with a special sub-committee being established in July 1920 (see BCC 1/AH/12 Priority of Expenditure Sub-Committee minutes). In April 1937, the minute numbers change; however, there is no break in continuity or function of the committee. During the war, in November 1942, the Accounts and Annuities, Rates Estimates, Priority of Expenditure and the Local Taxation Licences Sub-Committees were combined. The function of the committee (and previous sub-committees) was to consider and report to the main committee upon proposals of the various committees in the Corporation involving capital expenditure, in order to advise upon the funds available for the execution of works, and to make recommendations with regard to the disposal of such funds. |
