The following Table sets out Subhead by Subhead my Department’s capital allocations for 2017 and 2018, the 2017 actual capital spend together with the expenditure position in 2018 as at the end of September.

I wish to confirm that my Department did not carryover any capital monies from 2017 into 2018. I would also advise the Deputy that my Department did have a technical Supplementary Estimate in 2017 which allowed for the redistribution of capital and current savings to a number of other priorities in 2017, including funding the Brexit Working Capital Scheme. The 2017 outturn figures as set out in the Table reflect the capital expenditure position following the technical Supplementary. Insofar as the expenditure position in 2018 is concerned, whilst capital spending is somewhat behind profile it is too early at this stage to say definitively what the likely end of year position will be.
