I have not had an opportunity to consider this. Other major transaction centres have introduced financial transaction taxes. I have not had an opportunity to examine those in Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Mumbai or Taipei, which have fairly new financial markets. They are raising approximately $23 billion per year. Has Ms McVeigh's team had an opportunity to examine these taxes considering how new they are in global trading?
