Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: Public Expenditure
Monday 9th September 2019

Asked by: Thelma Walker (Labour - Colne Valley)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to Resource AME on page 24 of the MHCLG Main Estimate 2019-20: Estimates Memorandum, if he will publish details of budgeted expenditure under row three O – Research, Data and Trading Funds.

Answered by Jake Berry

The information provided below gives details of spending areas under each Strategic Objective as a whole, rather than broken down across Estimate Row. In the Main Estimate Explanatory Memorandum, Strategic Objectives are split across the Department’s Estimate Rows meaning that some Strategic Objectives appear under more than one Estimate Row.

The Department uses Strategic Objectives to allocate out budgets, monitor spend and delivery and report publicly. Under each Strategic Objective are a number of programmes which are made up of a number of Work Areas.

The Department’s budgets for both Programmes and the Work Areas that sit underneath each Programme, are kept under regular review and are revised where necessary to reflect changes in the operating environment. As such, the Department has not provided a further details of budget expenditure for each Work Area as budgets and structure may change during the year.

The Department notes that the level of budgeted expenditure detail provided in the Main Estimate Explanatory Memorandum is in line with guidance issued by the Scrutiny Unit.

Updated budgets for each Programme will be provided at the Supplementary Estimate later in the year.
