In relation to the Department of Education and Training Annual Management Report 1991-92, and its financial statements
(1) At page 106, point 13 (Other Revenue) what were the

MR WOOD: - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:

item on page 106, point 13 are furniture sales,
publications sales, sale of curriculum material,
consultancy services, professional development courses,
administrative costs from operating specific purpose
programs, supervision of ASAT tests, and others income.
The main difference in the amounts from 1990-91 to 1991-92 is that in 1990-91 the net income from full fee paying students was included in this item. In 1991-92, receipts and payments from this source are included in the statement of restricted funds on page 116 of the report.
(2)(a) The difference in the security item included in the General Overhead Expenses - Schools item on page 107 from 1990-91 to 1991-92 is due to savings achieved by the Department through the revised contract arrangements for the maintenance of intruder security systems.
(b) The difference in the other expenses item in the same category, from 1990-91 to 1991-92, reflects the one-off payment in 1990-91 for removal of hazardous materials from schools.
