Yes, but I am struggling to work out where that £191 million was at the start of the year.

But is that flexibility just for pay? Given that the cost of meals, for example, has increased, is there flexibility to convert capital into revenue to support those areas?

So the figures have already been announced, which means that the funding for those projects has not increased by those amounts.

How far is it going to be pushed out?

My next question is on paragraph 26, which mentions £9.5 million of savings from agriculture and rural economy. Do you have any idea what impact that will have on our rural population? What was the money for, specifically?

That would be good.

My last question is on paragraph 28, which concerns a Whitehall transfer of £6.5 million from the Money Advice Service. Can you give me a bit more detail on that, please?

Will it be used for money advice services?

Great. Thank you.

I want to go back on one last point, on energy grants. You said that they are a key priority and commitment. How can we ensure that take-up is better in future years? It is great to announce a big pot of cash, but we are often critical of the UK Government for not increasing uptake of benefits. What are you doing to get greater uptake so that we do not have an underspend of almost £92 million?

I struggle to understand how we can reach the target when there has been such a huge underspend, unless we increase spending going forward. If, as you said, there are budgetary pressures in future years, will the target be pushed back again?

Thanks, minister, and thanks, convener.
