I have a brief statistical question. It was stated there were over 10,000 companies covered by the large cases division. Could I have a breakdown of their effective corporation tax rates? I acknowledge there may be a difficulty given that specific companies cannot be identified. When the story broke about Apple, the point was that its effective tax rate, irrespective of how it was calculated, was pretty low by anybody's calculation. What is the position on the large cases division companies, which account for a lot of the activity? Presumably they are likely to have more tax strategies than many other companies. Could we have a breakdown of the effective tax rates of companies of different sizes covered by the large cases division?
