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 the Answer of 9 September 2019 to Question 282187, if he will publish the resource DEL budgets of each work area under the Strategic Objective SO1, Programme Area Building Affordable Homes.

With reference to the detailed response to your question on 9 September, we provided details of work areas which sit under each Strategic Objective. It was noted that the Department had not provided further details of budget expenditure for each work area as budgets and structure change during the year.

The level of budgeted expenditure detail provided in the Main Estimate Explanatory Memorandum is published 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.
