The actual expenditure was $372 million, 80.3% below the approved allocation of $1,889 million. 2. For Subhead 1004CA, the underspending was mainly due to land title problems of a number of claimants and therefore the compensation payments to them have been held up. 3. For Subhead 1100CA, the underspending was mainly due to failure to reach agreement on the compensation claims in relation to the Penny’s Bay Reclamation Project and slippage of a number of projects. 4. Details on the key expenditure items for each of the above subheads ⎯⎯⎯ are set out at Annexes 1A and 1B respectively.
