Just following on from that, with capacity issues, what contingency plans have you got if you have to divert drafting secondary legislation that would be for Government policy into drafting secondary legislation needed to save or reform the REUL?

And finally from me for the moment, you've talked about the conversations you've had, you've talked about the budget and protecting some of that core funding and core elements, but what's been the hardest decision you've had to make?

Those services and the impact on your three elements—the most vulnerable and the cost-of-living crisis—what do you foresee is the impact on the tribunals, on PCSOs? In real terms, it's a cut because of the inflationary pressure. So, in terms of numbers of…

In your discussions—you've talked about the social justice Minister—what sort of evidence and data have you been using to come to budget-making decisions and some of those things that you were talking about there?

Diolch, Gadeirydd. Counsel General, you talked there about protecting the core functions, which suggests there are non-core elements, so they will be negatively impacted by reducing budgets. Could you give us an outline of what's been deprioritised?

Thank you very much for that. I'm sorry for going a little bit over time. It's always fascinating to have you in and to have your insight into the way that these things work. It does help with our deliberations on the budget and to understand the…

Am I right in saying that that is at the request of the Government, rather—? You wouldn't independently publish that.

And is that the same then for income tax? Is it the same sort of thought process that goes into the forecasting and modelling of income tax—all of your forecasts, effectively?

And I suppose you see there are older people, so they're less likely to move, and there's all the demographic information that society in Wales is different from parts of the UK as a whole. So that would have a bearing on how often houses are sold and that…

That's interesting. You mentioned earlier that you effectively model the UK and then mechanically, effectively, take out a percentage for Wales, rather than modelling the Welsh economy in isolation. If you saw—I don't know if you do see—any divergence from…

Thank you very much. There's one question from this section that we haven't quite been able to get to, but I think it's an important one. You've included a house price inflation uplift for Wales for 2021-22; how effective was this in delivering more robust…

Thank you. You published your Welsh tax forecast to coincide with the Welsh Government's draft budget, three weeks after the UK autumn budget. Were there any challenges in adhering to those timescales and, if so, what were they?
