According to the Minister, the amount being sought under this subhead is to correct an accounting technicality whereby money was paid out this year rather than last year. How did that work out in terms of the budget? It was also stated that there was an underspend in the Department last year and that that underspend would be carried over into this year. Perhaps the Minister would elaborate further. I presume there will be no knock-on effects on next year's budget.
