Answer

Treasury officials discussed the Treasury's upcoming update of fiscal scenarios for NDCs with me at a meeting on 11 May. I received briefings that mentioned or covered the upcoming update on: • 1 May: Budget 2026 Production Advice - Week commencing 27 April • 28 May: Treasury Update on fiscal costs of NDCs The Treasury also sent a briefing on the draft publication to my office on 14 May. However, this was not provided to me at the time, and was updated and sent to me on 28 May.
