Lord Mendelsohn – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Northern Ireland Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Mendelsohn on 2014-04-08.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the percentage cost over-run established by the management board for any budget in the Northern Ireland Office to merit being tabled at the departmental management board; and how many times in the last 12 months that has occurred.

Lord Wallace of Saltaire

The Northern Ireland Office has not established a percentage cost overrun limit for budget management purposes. Performance against budget, analysed by business area, is considered on a monthly basis by the departmental management board.
