Vol. 377 No. 1

Written Answers. - Departmental Non-Capital Supply Services.

302.

Mrs. Hussey

asked the Minister for Education if she will give details, by Vote and by Subhead, of the saving of £24 million in expenditure on non-capital supply services in her group of votes, compared to the Estimates for 1987, announced by the Government in the Exchequer returns for the year 1987.

Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke)

The following table shows, for each of the five Votes in the Education group of Votes and for each subhead within these votes, the non-capital savings and excesses as compared with the Estimates for 1987, based on provisional outturn figures. The figure of £24 million quoted by the Department of Finance in connection with the Exchequer returns for 1987 was a preliminary estimate of these provisional outturn figures.

The gross saving of £4.13 million, which represents the difference between the level of expenditure provided for and the actual expenditure, amounts to a variation of only 0.35 per cent.
