HMRC cancelled an element of the Child Trust Fund (CTF) project when it was determined that this element was not necessary for the implementation of CTF and was not a strategic value for money project in its own right. However, a first release of this element was successfully developed and deployed. This release was critical for the smooth implementation and ongoing running of the Child Trust Fund project. The cost at cancellation for 2004-05 was £5.532 million and for 2005-06 £9.818 million.
