I like the idea of a three-year, rolling forward period. It is really an expression in advance for years 2 and 3 of the three-year period of budget expenditure and approval - outline expenditure and outline approval. Could it be that in the case of changed circumstances, the Government might find itself on the back foot and encounter difficulties in revisiting year 2, which becomes year 1 the next year?
