That is something we will have to consider in the context of the medium-term fiscal plan. Pay and numbers policy is a core part of the broader medium-term expenditure framework, which we will have to consider in the next number of weeks. We have had significant growth in the numbers of civil and public servants in the last number of years in light of strong investment in public services, in health and education in particular. That is something we will have to consider. They are factors that set out the broader expenditure matrix in the medium term and that is something the Government is actively considering as we set out the medium-term position in July.
