In effect, the problem is that our organisation does much work for other Departments at an agency level. Those Departments could take a decision not to advance a project in which our architects and surveyors would be involved. Those decisions would rest within the other Departments as we do a good deal of work for those Departments. The key area of genuine risk would be if we were to stop rolling out schemes on flooding. So far we have managed to ring-fence that and I am confident that funding will be in place between now and 2015.
