That works in the process of the fund being a rainy day fund to tackle an event like a natural disaster. That is my understanding of where that exemption sits. If we were looking more at a countercyclical version of it to deal with a recessionary situation and the drawdown in that, is there the same scope within the rules to look at that in terms of the borrowing expenditure limits under the fiscal rules?
