We've got time for a couple more questions, if you wanted, Mike, before moving on to Rhianon.

Just on that point—sorry, Mike, to cut across—in particular, is there a risk there might be an in-year ask, especially as inflation seems to be going up and up—that there will be an in-year ask from especially public sector workers of an increase in year?…

If I may, and just to emphasise slightly that point that Mike was making, but also, certainly back to the question we had earlier in terms of budgeting in different areas, we heard from the business community on Wednesday that they would really appreciate…

I did have one more question, but I think I'll keep it until the end, if we've got time, and move on to Gareth, because I'm conscious about time moving forward. Gareth.

Okay. Lovely, thank you very much. We're moving on to tax forecasts and policy. I've got a couple of questions, and then I'm going to bring Gareth in straight after. The first question I have is: what criteria do you consider that the programme—? Let me start…

Okay. Thank you very much. There are just a couple of areas to cover off before I move on to Gareth. We're a little bit behind time, but we're okay—we're having a good discussion, so that's good. While the review of inter-governmental relations published last…

The increases in the budget, as you've said yourself, are front-loaded, so there's a lot of investment in this year, and we've seen wages, inflation, COVID recovery costs and the impact of those. How are you planning to deliver your objectives in 2023-24 and…

One of the things that we've been hearing about a lot in Plenary and obviously in talking to constituents out there in the real world, as it were, since the draft budget was laid, is that the cost-of-living crisis has deepened, and I was wondering if there…
