View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 165 to 170, inclusive, together.
The 2013 Administration provisions are allocated across the programme areas of my Department based on a number of factors including outturn from previous years, staff numbers, equipment purchases and, in 2013, anticipated level of involvement in EU Presidency activities. These allocations represent a best estimate of administration expenses at the outset of the year, but may vary as the year unfolds. A breakdown of administration costs allocated across the five programme areas of my Department is provided in the following table.
The Revised Estimates Volume 2013 provides for ‘A.7 Other Services’ under Communications Programme Expenditure. Other Services refers to capital contingency allocation and also current expenditure for Commissions and Enquires which may arise during the course of the year.
