I thank the Governor, who, despite the statement in our note to the effect that he was to attend with his colleagues, turned up on his own to deal with us, as usual. The committee members appreciate his having made himself available for an extensive period this afternoon. As he knows, the target figure is moving to 35% in October, and 15% at the end of the year. We have signalled to the banks that we will be seeking to speak to them again in early 2014, at which time we might wish to speak to the Governor.

Can I have agreement that SI 358, which was raised by Deputy Doherty, can be put on the agenda for discussion next week? Agreed.
