It would be true of some Bills but not every Bill. Some Bills involve a cost to the Exchequer but some do not. Engaging in conveyancing or compensating third parties where you are basically banning pieces of infrastructure lawfully included up to that point will not be covered by the money message because the money message relates to the Bill when it was first to proceed to Committee Stage.

Rather than do it all in a transparent manner and deal with it, the Minister of State, particularly in amendments around the end of October, gave us amendments the night before Committee Stage, but there was no subsequent money message to account for that.
