As stated in my reply to the Deputy on 20 November, 2012, I will be making a statement to the House on Wednesday, 5 December, pertaining to the 2013 expenditure estimates, while my colleague Minister Noonan will make a separate financial statement on the same day. At this stage, it is anticipated that Minister Noonan will deliver his financial statement after which I will be announcing the 2013 expenditure measures.
