I propose to take Questions Nos. 200 and 201 together.

My Department’s capital allocation provides for the routine acquisition of IT equipment and systems and certain premises expenses relating to the buildings it occupies. Aside from these types of expenditure, my Department does not have any long or medium term capital projects.

The Department in recent years has engaged the Office of Public Works (OPW) to carry out a number of capital projects on the premises it occupies. The OPW would have had to engage outside contractors to carry out the associated works. The Department of Finance paid certain costs related to these works during the period in question which is contained in the following table.
