Mary Creagh – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Mary Creagh on 2015-01-14.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how his Department defines non-fiscal spend.

Danny Alexander

“Non-fiscal spend” is not a formal term in the UK National Accounting framework. It is sometimes used to refer to items of public expenditure, which although included in departmental budgets, are either not classified as spending in the National Accounts or use a different source.
