Yes, but we have not breached the expenditure ceiling in recent years. In 2016, when I had direct responsibility for expenditure ceilings by Department, although the Minister for Finance set the overall figure, we delivered the figures we had said we would deliver. The underspend at the end of 2016 was ahead of where we expected it to be.
