I think there is general consensus that the approach being taken on this point is unsatisfactory, but I am not going to cause a division on the matter now. However, I would like to ask about the publication of other Estimates. I presume they have all been passed by the Cabinet Is that the case? If so, can the spokespeople who are preparing to engage with the Estimates for this year be given reasonable notice in order that they can do so adequately? This should happen before we begin looking at the Estimates for next year, when, by common consensus, we will have an entirely new regime.
