On the State Laboratory, the Supplementary Estimate is simply to provide more money for electricity and gas costs because the State Laboratory has increased energy costs as a result of its laboratory equipment use. The Deputy asked me whether there is sufficient money in the budget to meet the staff costs and staff resources. There is so we have no expectation that we need more money to meet those costs for the year.
