(1) What is the Office of the EPA’s budget for the time period from its opening to 30 June 2010?
(2) How does that sum compare to what would have been the budget for the EPA Services Unit during the same period?
(3) If there is a difference between (1) and (2)?
(4) If yes to (3), why?
(5) Does the Office of the EPA now have its own assets and liabilities?
(6) If no to (5), why not?
(7) If yes to (5), do the EPA’s assets exceed its liabilities?
(8) What is the Office of the EPA’s budget for each of the forward estimates periods?
