I monitor current expenditure in my Department on an ongoing basis to ensure it remains within the parameters allocated in my Department's budget for 2008, and to ensure that efficient and effective use is made of taxpayer's money. At the end of March current expenditure was in line with profile. I expect that current expenditure in my Department for all of 2008 will be within estimate.
