I will always answer parliamentary questions as openly as I possibly can. The truth is that negotiations did not get to the point where specific dates for various increases were being discussed or agreed. Of course this has a direct impact on the spread of the overall cost in three calendar years. I do not want to mislead the Deputy or the committee. If he tables a question we will answer it as best we can.
