How about 00-56 (PART 1)/4 ANNEX A which defines 'Broadly Acceptable'
"Broadly Acceptable - A level of risk that is sufficiently low that it may be tolerated without the need to demonstrate that the risk is ALARP"
But it then defines "Unacceptable" as A level of risk that is tolerated only under exceptional circumstances.
So according to 00-56, Unacceptable can be tolerated, if the exceptional circumstance is that the UK government is broke.
