I will give some examples. If the Minister sits down with the line Minister for Education and Skills, he will find school transport fees are an important source of income to that Department and have a major impact on its Estimate. According to the Bill the Minister will not have a role in setting school transport fees, yet has responsibility for the net Estimate for the Department. It is a bit strange that he tells us he is responsible for the revenue generated in the Department when the Bill does not state that.
