For information PWSCI(2013-14)6 NOTE FOR PUBLIC WORKS SUBCOMMITTEE OF FINANCE COMMITTEE Annual Report on Capital Works Reserve Fund Block Allocations for the 2012-13 Financial Year We have been compiling exception reports on block allocations under the Capital Works Reserve Fund (CWRF) to account for the difference between the actual programme and the indicative one which we presented to Members for approving the funding allocation. This report covers the 2012-13 financial year. Encls. 1 to 11 Enclosures 1 to 11 provide details on each block allocation under the 11 CWRF Heads of Expenditure and include – (a) a comparison of the approved provision and actual expenditure in 2012-13 and the reasons for those items with variations greater than 15%; (b) a list of minor works projects which were implemented in 2012-13 as planned, including those which had had the works contracts awarded but had not started incurring spending, and those which were shelved or withdrawn (as compared with the indicative list in PWSC(2011-12)33); and (c) a list of new injection items (i.e. items not shown in the indicative list in PWSC(2011-12)33) approved in 2012-13, including those which had had the works contracts awarded but had not started incurring spending. 2. In overall terms, the approved allocation for CWRF block allocations in 2012-13 totalled $11,557.8 million1. The actual expenditure was $10,400.7 million, which was 10% below the approved allocation. ------------------------- Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau October 2013 ——————————————————————————————————— 1 The Finance Committee approved in January 2013 the creation of a new block allocation Subhead 6101TX and an allocation of $2.4 million for 2012-13.

The total approved allocation for 2012-13 was therefore increased by $45.6 million from $11,512.2 million to $11,557.8 million.
