I will not debate the contents of it with Mr. Watt now but I know its format from other years. I suspect very few, if any, of the issues set out in the first FEMPI legislation as to why we were in a financial emergency still exist, apart from the level of national debt. I do not think Mr. Watt will be able to answer this question but do the criteria that existed when the measures were first introduced still exist? We are inventing new excuses each year to keep it alive.
