Public Accounts Committee
2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Mr. Mark Griffin:
This is typical throughout Departments. There is an underspend in capital funding for whatever reason. We had it because of an underspend on the national broadband plan last year. That will be deployed throughout the Department but primarily on programmes where there is a big ask and we expect a big level of spend. Traditionally, we have deployed the bulk of the capital carryover to the energy programmes in the Department, such as better energy warmer homes and energy poverty community schemes.
