Appendix D - List of agencies

This table lists all agencies in the Portfolio Budget Statements in ascending order of size (measured by total departmental expenses). It also shows how much of their appropriations are subject to the efficiency dividend. The final column shows how much money is kept by the agency if the Committee’s preferred option in chapter 6 is implemented. This option is to exempt the first $50 million of all agencies’ appropriations (excluding departments of state) that would normally be subject to the efficiency dividend.
