In respect of the expenditure for last year, I will be submitting a capital expenditure management report for the end of quarter 4 to the Government in the coming weeks. The Deputy can expect that to be done in early March. The memorandum will show that the capital expenditure for programme A has increased by more than 30% in the year 2021 to 2022. We did flag that we would take the full capital carryover. As I outlined in my opening statement, some projects from this year have gone into next year. There will be a level of underspend and surrender within that, but it will be a matter that I will bring to the Cabinet in the coming weeks. We are looking at the capital spend in 2022 being the highest ever. Even in a difficult year where we had supply-chain issues, we were more than 30% up on the previous year.
