I propose to take Questions Nos. 50 and 72 together.

The Report referred to in the Questions will be considered as part of the Estimates and budgetary process for 2010 and the decisions on all of the issues arising will be a matter for the Government. It would not be appropriate for me to comment further at this stage pending the outcome of this consideration.
