After the expiry of 14 days following the presentation to the States of these transfers, the Minister hereby authorises the Treasurer of the States to action the transfers outlined in the table above. (More detail on the transfers is given below.)
Background
The out-turn from departmental revenue budgets leaves £16,141,750 not spent at the end of 2018. These departmental underspends will provide funding for the shortfalls in 2019 for the current pay proposals, and will provide budget to the Growth, Housing and Environment Department to rectify their income shortfall due to the non-delivery of waste charges in this Medium Term Financial Plan.
To enable departments to deliver previous commitments, this funding is required to be transferred (as a non-recurring transfer) into the Allocation of Contingency to be used during 2019.
