First, I reiterate that, if the Government are serious, there is something that they can do that is very simple and straightforward, and I hope that everyone will agree that that is what should happen in the first instance. A considerable amount of learning has come from the process that we have put in place. If there is additional funding, we will be able to borrow from that learning to ensure that other help may be provided. Again, the most simple and straightforward thing would be for the Government to cut tax because that helps not only individuals but the economy overall. That is what they should be focused on because that helps everybody.
