The answer to the Deputy's earlier question is "Yes". The particular impact on the structural deficit was due to the impact on contract manufacturing in a quarter. I cannot answer the question about whether I am anticipating another change later. The figures from the Central Statistics Office are shared a little with me before they are shared with anybody else. At this time it is difficult for me to give an indication as to whether another surge is likely.
