Education and Health will again have the largest share of public spending when Government’s new financial year starts on April 1.

This was outlined in the Appropriation Bill 2021, which Attorney General Dale Marshall told Parliament would be debated by members of the House of Assembly from Monday at 10 a.m.

Meanwhile, Minister in the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Investment Marsha Caddle said public sector investment and competitiveness would be key pillars of the 2021-2022 Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure.

The Estimates, which detail Government’s expenditure and revenue for the next 12 months, were to be laid in Parliament yesterday, but the document was not available last night at the time of writing. (SC)
