We were told that under the new fiscal rules there would be expenditure ceilings for each Department that the Departments would not be allowed to breach. Two years ago we were told that there would be no more Supplementary Estimates as they would not be allowed under the rules. What about the multiple statements by various Ministers a few years ago that it was going to be the last year of the Supplementary Estimates and there would be expenditure ceilings under the fiscal rules? Is the imposition of those rules movable from year to year like everything else?
