The review is under way and I am receiving submissions from other Departments. In the coming days we will begin the period of public consultation.

On the Acting Chairman's question as to whether it will be new matters or a reprioritisation of matters, it will be a mixture of both. There are projects that need to happen sooner than anticipated. We need to move away from the approach of saying it is a capital review where many new projects are not announced. There are projects, with which the Acting Chairman will be familiar - I will not name them because it will be assumed that they will happen more speedily than planned and I will get into trouble-----
