Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Public Service Performance Report 2020: Discussion
Mr. Ronnie Downes:
I will have to dig out some papers on that and perhaps come back to you, Chairman. When we looked at the upgrade of the public spending code in late 2019, we looked at international practice on capital appraisal guidelines, our traditional ones and some international examples. In general terms, when it comes to capital infrastructure, these are the kind of time horizons that tend to be used internationally. It might be useful if I follow up directly with you, Chairman, with a more detailed response specifically on those time horizons.
