QUESTION 1

Is it needed?

Choose a real service gap. Repair what can still work.

QUESTION 2

What does it cost?

Include staff, supplies, fuel, repairs and future running costs.

QUESTION 3

How will it be paid for?

Identify lawful funding. Do not spend money that has not been secured.

QUESTION 4

Who answers for it?

Name the responsible institution. Publish spending and results.

Built-in limits

  • A fiscal and obligations statement within the first 100 days.

  • New borrowing assessed in a published debt strategy with stress tests.
  • The Central Bank’s statutory independence respected.
