CORRECTIONAL SERVICES

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (15:06): Does the $67 million that you mentioned for those four projects include both the costs required for the building of the facilities and also the operational budgets required to operate them after they are built, throughout the forward estimates?

The Hon. M.F. O'BRIEN (Napier—Minister for Finance, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:06): Yes, they do, and I think that point is specifically referred to in the budget. This is both for capital and for recurrent expenditure.
