We will continue to miss out on that, as will our local businesses. There is a huge opportunity for the fund to be an economic driver here in allowing businesses, local authorities and Departments to invest. In my opinion, that comes down to a misunderstanding of how Administrations work here and elsewhere. I will continue to engage with the Government on the matter. As I said, it has formed part of our Budget discussions as well.
