The report was introduced by Beverley Pennekett, Interim Finance Manager. 

 

In response to a question from the Cabinet Member, Mrs Pennekett said that the underspend was likely to increase at this stage and Mr Stoneman echoed that.  Ms Corcoran added that in terms of capital funding officers always have a backlog of projects in terms of supporting schools improve their accommodation so any underspend will definitely be used on school projects.
