No, I must stop Mr. Watt there. If I had wanted an outline of how much we spent on capital in recent years and how much we would spend in future, I would have asked for it. I asked about how the fiscal rules applied to capital spend. We have heard from the Department of Finance and even the Minister has acknowledged today that the fiscal rules need to be reviewed. If it is almost universally accepted that we need greater flexibility in the application of the fiscal rules to allow us to have more capacity to spend on capital, what is Mr. Watt's Department requesting from the European Commission?
