BUDGET UNDERSPENDING

In reply to various members.

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Federal/State Relations): I am advised that the enclosed table lists the estimate of 2007-08 underspending against the approved budget and carryovers that have been approved and already reflected in the expenditure figures for 2008-09. Carryovers approved into financial years beyond 2008-09 are not included in the table. The estimated level of underspending is measured by requests submitted by agencies to carryover expenditure to 2008-09 and future years as part of the 2008-09 budget process.

It should be noted that there is not, in all cases, a one to one relationship between Ministers and agencies. The agency data therefore only reflects that part of the agency that reports to the minister.
