I have no plans to alter the process for the 2009 Estimates at this stage. The wide-ranging reforms introduced by my predecessor in 2008 seem to have worked well and I would like to see them bedded down before embarking on further change. In addition, the priority for next year will be on further controlling the rate of increase in spending rather than on the process.
