After the budget each year, the Department produces an abridged Estimates Volume, which not only lists the headings for each of the functions of the Department but also the amounts allocated to each spending item. By the end of the year that document is revised into what is called a Revised Estimates Volume which has an updated figure. In previous years I have been given some of that documentation. I am asking the Government to publish the abridged Estimates Volume and the Revised Estimates Volume for last year in the interest of transparency and to publish the abridged Estimates Volume from October of this year and give a commitment to publish the Revised Estimates Volume in December when it is agreed.
