I propose to take Questions Nos. 82, 106, 140, 142, 144 and 241 together.
The national development plan is funding projects in the rail, road and aviation sectors. It is expected that these projects will all be completed. Some projects may run beyond the time limit of the plan but it is not possible to identify them at this stage as completion of the NDP will be dependent on funding levels and the prevailing budgetary and economic situation over the coming years. A formal review of the NDP will be undertaken next year. The Government is committed to strong promotion of the NDP and to maintain a high level of investment in infrastructural projects.
