Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the projected underspend for each Northern Ireland Department for the year 2002–03. [HL2387]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

Information on the extent of any underspend for the Northern Ireland Office and the Northern Ireland Administration for the year 2002–03 will not be available until May 2003 and June 2003 respectively.

I shall write to the noble Lord as soon as this information is available and will ensure that a copy is placed in the Library of the House.
