Mr. Martin Fraser:

All I can say is that the Government's policy is to try to create jobs in this industry. For many years the Clearing House Group has been very successful in creating jobs. I now chair it and do my best to work on the issue of job creation, to have as much transparency as possible and to ensure the regulator is allowed to do his job appropriately.

The Deputy referred to the property tax. We try to carry out Government policy as effectively as we can. It is not the case that we regard something as an achievement, or do not regard it as such. We carry out Government policy as faithfully as we can. Obviously, a property tax is being pursued as a matter of policy. Fairness is very important and is in our strategy statement. We could have a strategy statement that did not contain it. The country is in a very difficult position and it is important that we have fairness in our strategy statement. We can look to it as something that is written down when we are doing our jobs. We just have to implement the policy as best we can.
