To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what plans he has to reduce his Department"s underspend in 2003–04 from that of 2002–03. [112778]

The Cabinet Office always strives to operate sound financial management of its resource and capital budgets. A capital underspend is expected in 2002–03 due to unavoidable one-off delays on two major capital programmes. Planned spending for 2003–04 is set out in the Cabinet Office departmental report 2003 (Cm 5926).
