View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 275 to 278, inclusive, together.
The following table sets out the 2010 estimate, the 2010 spend to end November and the 2011 estimate as announced in last weeks Budget for the expenditure programmes raised by the Deputy.
While it is likely that there will be some under spend at year end, it is expected that it will be lower than end November spend might suggest as timing issues resolve themselves and increased uptake on some programmes translates into increased expenditure.
