Dilapidation Bill: Scrutinising Key “Public Purse” Implications

Synopsis: This Review of Costs aims to support the Assembly – that is, Members in their plenary, committee and constituency capacities – when scrutinising key potential financial implications for the “public purse”, if the Dilapidation Bill would be enacted as introduced and thereafter would be in receipt of Royal Assent. It relies on the Bill’s Explanatory and Financial Memorandum (EFM), as compiled by the Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), and other relevant sources.
