(Question No 491)

Mr Smyth asked the Treasurer, upon notice, on 12 August 2015:

In relation to the capital contribution for light rail in Budget Paper 3, is the $375 million stated in page 166 included in the $1.5 billion capital provision shown in Table 5.1.1; if so, in which year, or spread of years is it included or if not included in the current Forward Estimates, in which years will it be included.

Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
