Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord President on 20 November (WA 352), whether they do not expect any underspend from either section of the Language Implementation Body for 2003. [HL188]

Baroness Amos

Since the Answer given to the noble Lord on 20 November, the Ulster-Scots Agency has confirmed that it expects to spend its budget for 2003. The Irish Language Agency has indicated that it may not spend its entire budget for 2003.
