Perhaps I could guess, it would be about four or five times the figure given by Mr. Trethowan.

If the purpose of the Credit Review Office is to try to make a serious impact on the level of credit being provided for small and medium enterprise, which are regularly described by the Government and others as a key engine of economic recovery and the generation of employment, this is just a drop in the ocean. Is it virtually having no impact on the wider economic stage?
