Reply:

(1) My Department did have unspent budget funds at the end of the 2015-16 financial year.

(1)(a) My Department has recorded an under expenditure of R189.558 million for the 2015-16 financial year.

(1)(b) Of the reported under expenditure of R189.558 million, my Department had requested to rollover funds from 2015-16 financial year to 2016-17 financial year in an amount of R77.448 million.

(2) National Treasury did not grant approval to the Department’s request for rollover of funds as it has been deemed that the Department can accommodate the related expenditure within the existing baselines.
