Yes. While there have been decreases in all the other areas in the justice Votes, under the Vote for the Property Registration Authority, there has been an increase of 61% in the Estimate provision for office equipment and external IT services and an increase of 34% in the Estimate provision for postal and telecommunications services. There is a reduction in the provision for office premises expenses and an increase in the provision for consultancy services. Where the provision for other areas has decreased, the Estimate provision for the Property Registration Authority has increased. Is there a particular reason for such increased provision? Is more happening under this Vote heading than anywhere else?
