I will add a question or two - it is too inviting to allow the occasion to pass. I presume this Bill will address any outstanding issues arising from the financial emergency measures in the public interest legislation. To what extent does it address the issues arising from FEMPI throughout the public service?

My other question relates to capital spending in future. To what extent will essential infrastructure be identified as an area for special mention and investment? What will the chief pillars of that development be? Will rail and housing be regarded as integral parts of our vital infrastructure?
