Level of savings from Bills Store
[hr] [hr]
Official forecasts that reducing the number of Government Official Bills Jerseysdepartments in Northern Ireland would save tens of millions of pounds are being called into question.The challenge
comes from the committee drawing up plans to cut the present total of 12 departments and prune the current level of 108 MLAs.The Assembly and
Executive review committee is writing to the First and Deputy First Minister to ask for an explanation of the figures.Finance Minister Sammy Wilson
told the Assembly three years ago this month that.
His estimate was based on the number of functions that are replicated Steve Johnson Jerseyacross the departments such as corporate, personnel and finance services.But Raymond McCaffrey of the Assembly's Research and
Information Service (RaISE) told the committee: “It is unclear to us how that estimate was made and I suppose we would conclude that it’s probably
useful to ask for further information on how it was arrived at.”Mr McCaffrey also said any attempt to provide costings “is going to be very difficult
unless you have a specific proposal of how a post-reorganisation landscape is going to look”.
Without that, it could be something of a guessing game,” he added.The Buffalo Bills Jerseyscommittee chair, Stephen Moutray of the DUP, proposed the committee should write to Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness
“requesting information on any work that has either been undertaken to date or planned to estimate the initial costs, anticipated savings and effect
on employment that would result from a restructuring”.The committee has asked for a response following the week-long Halloween recess.
Mr Wilson’s department said it did not anticipate BE1102ZYH contributing to the Mark Anderson Jerseyanswers being sought from OFMDFM.A statement replying to a number of questions put by the Belfast Telegraph said: “The Finance
Minister in 2009 suggested that a reduction in the number of departments from 11 to six would save tens of millions of pounds on an ongoing
basis.“There is currently no agreed model in terms of restructuring the NICS departments to base an updated estimate of savings on.“The estimated
savings were based on a generic reduction in the number of departments from 11 to six. It was not based on a specific proposal.”
In a bid to restore some confidence in their officials, the referees' Bills Storebody PGMO (Professional Game Match Officials) have entrusted the two highest-profile televised Premier League games on Saturday –
Manchester United v Arsenal and West Ham v Manchester City, to their leading referees, Mike Dean and Howard Webb.Herbert, who made the complaint that
triggered the investigation into Clattenburg, told The Independent that he had adopted a policy of "zero tolerance" and from now on would "almost
certainly" be referring every race allegation in football to the police for a criminal inquiry.
He said that his organisation would push for police investigation http://www.officialbillsjerseysonsale.cominto race allegations in football "until there is a proper strategy where the FA combats these matters
effectively". Herbert said that he had not spoken to any of the players involved in the incident on Sunday.It is unlikely that Mikel and Mata will
feature in tonight's game. Oriol Romeu, a substitute on Sunday, said in an interview with Spanish radio that neither Mata nor Mikel heard the alleged
slurs uttered by Clattenburg against them.
