Again, I absolutely agree with you. I think to borrow to give the rich tax cuts is not a policy that most people would think was very sensible, and clearly there are many concerns that you can see right across the markets, and the international markets too just really have lost confidence and trust in the UK Government. I will certainly ask the Minister for Economy to bring forward a statement at the appropriate time. The announcement about investment zones, for instance, as far as I know, the Minister for Economy had no knowledge of that—I feel another free ports coming along the track. But I think it's really important that we give the Minister for Economy time to have those discussions with the UK Government.
