Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail the total expected administrative costs associated with the High Street Scheme.

Answer:

The scheme is still ongoing and it is not possible at this moment in time to give a definitive figure in terms of overall costs. The Executive provided £145m to fund the scheme.

Some costs associated with the administration of the scheme are treated as commercially sensitive information and cannot be released until the contract period has ended. For this reason also it is not possible to detail the total administrative costs of the scheme at present.
