We are looking to spend as much as we possibly can. Even in the Supplementary Estimate today, I am bringing extra money into some lines under which we think we can spend more. Where more can be spent, we will spend it. However, there is no possibility of new schemes because the window for any lines of expenditure has passed. It is simply no longer possible to introduce and operate any new schemes through the Commission. For any schemes already in place, we are looking to draw down every penny we can and to maximise expenditure on them.
