WQ.373/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY M.R. LE HEGARAT OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 10th SEPTEMBER 2019
Question
Further to a response given to Oral Question 186/2019 on 16th July 2019, in which a request for monthly details of departmental expenditure was refused, but an undertaking given to provide the figures for the end of June by the end of July 2019; will the Minister advise when these figures will be made available and why it was possible for the same information to be provided by way of a public Freedom of Information request?
Given that the figures at the end of April 2019 show that the Chief Operating Office was £2.1 million overspent, will the Minister provide the latest figures, including a detailed breakdown of the overspend?
Answer
Departmental expenditure information as at the end of June has been published to the Assembly (R.115/2019). The answer to the Freedom of Information request provided "headline" departmental numbers only. The published report includes further supporting information and explanation.
The latest forecast outturn for the Chief Operating Office is a £2 million overspend. The reasons for this are set out in the report.
