Answer

I am advised that the former Ministry of Housing and Urban Development had a budget of $856,000 in relation to exit costs of premises which will be vacated. $130,000 of this relates to make good provisions which existed before the creation of the Ministry for Cities, Environment, Regions and Transport (MCERT). The other foundation agencies of MCERT have no set budget for make-good, reinstatement or exit costs.
