Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Outlook, Competitiveness and Labour Market Developments: Discussion

2:00 pm

Ms Patricia King:

Yes. NESC was of the view but there has been a lot of commentary subsequently, which I have heard, to the effect that we cannot do this because the legislation does not permit it. Our only point is that if it does not, maybe it can be adjusted, but if it does, then let it happen.
