Mr. Robert Watt:
Is the Chair referring to additional expenditure? As I said, the expenditure increased last year more than we budgeted for primarily for three reasons. Various policy decisions were taken during the year by the Government. There were also issues in relation to inflation and demand. Obviously, the inflation environment is very different.
