Minister, I do not envy you the job that you are trying to do at the moment, but help me to understand something. You said that, if nothing changes, there will have to be cuts. We are halfway through the financial year. If those cuts are to be applied to just half a financial year, rather than to a full financial year, will they be felt more acutely by the public? Will they be more severe than they would be if they were being taken over a full 12-month financial period?
