That amounts to about 99%. It is important to clarify the matter as people might have misunderstood.

I have two other minor questions. On page 81 of the accounts there is a reference to the EU-IMF funding programme, under which we still owe €45 billion. There is a figure of €18 billion for the European Stability Fund; €25 billion for the European Financial Stability Mechanism; and €4 billion for the UK Treasury. At what interest rate is the money owed? Why can we not get out of it?
