answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2014 answer text <p>Each month the Department for Transport's Executive Committee receives a summary of the forecast expenditure against budget as part of a Management Information Pack and a commentary in which any significant forecast variances to individual budgets are described and explained. Information at the detailed level is reviewed by each budget holder and Finance Business Partner to ensure that the Department for Transport remains within its control totals and each budget holder remains within their budget. Where forecasts indicate a possible breach of Treasury control totals, this is reported to the Executive Committee every month until the issue is resolved. There were two potential forecast overspends which were at risk of breaching control totals. These issues were highlighted to the Executive Committee three times in 2013-14 until the issues were resolved.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport does not have a prescribed percentage for any forecast overspend to be tabled at the Board or Executive Committee.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 13/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
