I am a taxpayer too. Perhaps the Deputy will give me a chance to speak. With regard to the reduction, I would abhor that type of behaviour by anybody in the legal profession. Most ordinary members of the legal profession do not charge near those types of fees. The vast majority of solicitors and so forth are trying to keep people employed and the vast majority of barristers are not making anything like the headline figures the Deputy mentions. That is the reality. Nobody expects anybody in the legal service-----
