It should not. From the beginning of my utterances about wanting to engage with the public sector unions, I made it clear that Haddington Road would be expected to run its course. Haddington Road is a three-year agreement from the summer of 2013 to the summer of 2016. We need to have an agreement not simply to run into that but to understand where we are going beyond that. Certainly, when I produced the budget and Estimates for 2015, the maintenance of the Haddington Road agreement was explicit in all my utterances publicly in the House and outside.
