The Committee is also concerned at the reference in your letter of 9 May that “it is not possible to separate costs relating to the provisions of the Bill and those which result from the wider NCS programme”. Given this Committee has already sought greater clarity over the costs of the Bill in its report, we seek an explanation of why, at this early stage, the costs of the NCS Bill cannot be separated from the wider NCS programme and what steps you will put in place to enable this separation of costs to be made going forward, so we can fully understand the best estimates of the Bill.
