The Deputy asked whether the capital expenditure figures for 2017 will change as a result of the mid-term capital review. The answer is "No". I expect the mid-term capital review to affect the figures from 2018 onwards and I would like that to be the case. In my experience of managing capital in transport, with the exception of local and regional roads, the time lag between making funding available and it being spent can easily exceed 12 months because planning and tendering take time. For this reason, I do not expect the mid-term capital review to change the 2017 capital expenditure figures.
What was the Deputy's second question?
