My remarks are not really a criticism of what the Credit Review Office is doing. Every job that has been saved is well worth protecting. I am sure the people involved are tremendously grateful to the CRO for upholding their appeals. In terms of macro-economics, this is simply not going to have a meaningful impact on the wider economic question of whether we generate large scale employment through the SME sector. Is that not a statement of an obvious fact from looking at the figures?
