Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

The approach last year was that there was a contingency fund retained centrally for the Ukraine response. My understanding is that Government has retained a contingency fund for the Ukraine response again. That is what has been allocated as our Revised Estimate allocation for now but, obviously, that will be tested.
