NW190E
REPLY:
a) No change is envisaged in the financial support to the Film and
Publication Board.
b) No change is envisaged in the financial support to the Government
Printing Works.
c) No change is envisaged in the financial support to the Independent
Electoral Commission.
The following important aspects must, however, be noted:
⢠The Departmentâs Budget is informed by Governmentâs priorities
and, the 2011/12 budget process is centred on realigning the
current budget to the twelve (12) identified Outcomes across
Departments.
⢠When the Departmentâs and its Entitiesâ requests for additional
funding are considered, during the budget process, due
consideration is given to the tight Fiscal framework, and limited
resources available, and priority is given to ensuring that core
service delivery outcomes are met.
⢠Any request for additional financial support for the 2011/12
financial year, will be considered in light of the above mentioned
framework, during the adjustment estimates process.
