It would be useful because one is conscious as well that even at the national economic dialogue exchanges there was much discussion about the need to invest in capital. I think everybody is on the same page, so what we are trying to do is to look at ways in which we can increase capital spending if possible. If it is not possible under the rules that is fair enough but we just need absolute certainty.

The final issue I wish to raise is the marginal tax rate above 50%. We hear a great deal about that. How many PAYE workers are paying a marginal tax rate above 50%?
