Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report 98: Provision of School Transport

9:00 am

Mr. Stephen Kent:

Yes, we have to return the surplus to the Department if there is any surplus in any one time. That is the way it operates. The Comptroller and Auditor General report identified a surplus and it has gone back. Sometimes, as I have said here, depending on where we are, that surplus has been used, if the Department agrees, where we have needed to invest in a technology system or in more customer service support systems. We bring that to the Department and it decides whether we are allowed to do it.
