As the Deputy acknowledged, my responsibility is for the capital works carried out by my own Department. I will ask my Department's Secretary General to write to other Departments to ensure that they operate the scheme as they are obliged to do. Irrespective of the Department involved, it is obliged in respect of its capital projects to put aside 1% of the total cost of a project to provide for a painting, sculpture or performance.
