I was very clear when I published the SPU that it was being prepared on a no policy change basis. It will be the case that if the Government makes further decisions that influence the level of expenditure we have for next year and beyond then that will change the expenditure ceilings. As the Deputy knows, the SPU is prepared strictly on the basis of decisions that have already been taken and it is very possible, as the Government makes decisions in advance of budget 2022, that the expenditure ceilings he referred to would go up to accommodate additional policy choices.
