I thank him very much for giving way, indeed. I would simply observe that, back in 2007-08 when I was a Member of Parliament, I recall standing up with the then shadow Chancellor supporting the Labour Government for the way that it regulated. They were both wrong on light regulation. They were both wrong. But I have to point out to the gentleman that the shadow Chancellor, George Osborne at that time, was saying that this was the way to run financial affairs. He was wrong, so were we. But don’t cast it simply at the Labour party. I think the whole world was wrong at that time.
