It is my intention to make progress well before October on the process I have referred to. Before the summer, I aim to publish a paper that will provide an update to the House on the position with all capital commitments throughout the country and give an indication of the kind of capital investment we believe will be needed here in the next decade. I want to take stock of where we are now and where we are likely to go in the future.

On the second question, it is my intention in the second half of this year, and it may or may not coincide with budget day as I have not made a decision on that yet, to make announcements on individual projects because there is a need for clarity on where we stand with existing commitments, let alone our ability to make new commitments. I would like to bring that to a conclusion in the second half of this year.
