WQ.122/2024

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES

BY DEPUTY J. RENOUF OF ST. BRELADE

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 2nd APRIL 2024

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 9th APRIL 2024

Question

“Will the Minister outline how the money allocated to Central Reserve Expenditure in the Government Plan was spent in each of the last 3 years?”

Answer

The term “Central Reserve” was introduced for the first time for 2024, through the Government Plan 2024-27. The Central Reserve consolidates the General Reserve and the Reserve for Centrally Held Items. In previous Government Plans, these were separate Heads of Expenditure (the Central Reserve is also a Head of Expenditure). Therefore, in answering this question, I have set out all of the allocations from the General Reserve and Reserve for Centrally Held Items.

Starting from 2022, the Annual Report and Accounts provides details of all allocations from the reserves, so this information is now routinely made available.
