The second of the bits of legislation in front of us is the first of the imprest supply bills. The bill is needed to provide the sole parliamentary financial authority for Government spending in 2021/22 until the Appropriation (2021/22 Estimates) Bill is passed. As the deadline for the third reading debate on the latter bill is to be completed within four months of Budget day—that is, 20 September—this imprest supply bill is for the first three months of the 2021/22 financial year. In addition, it's standard practice for imprest supply bills to cover the materialisation of fiscal risks and the uncertain timing and spread of expenditure, including changes to appropriations that might actually be fiscally neutral.
