This is only a minor reform. It creates the impression that the Minister has sanctioned it with the sole purpose of letting people know if expenditure is on target for any given month. However, we should all recognise that what is required is greater control over public expenditure and, perhaps more importantly, greater evaluation, both before and as it is spent. I have previously spoken at length on this issue. In this regard, the NESC report on managing public expenditure, published before Christmas, contains a number of fine and useful recommendations.
