Where payments are contractually committed, the terms of any possible recovery depend on the contract under which they are agreed.

Any unauthorised expenditure by a departmental arm’s-length body must be noted in the relevant department’s annual report and accounts. Any repayment of grant-in-aid by the arm’s-length body would be a matter to be resolved between the funding department and the arm’s-length body in question.
