Thank you very much, Deputy, for your questions. I am not sure what a comparison of economic credentials does for either of us so I do not propose to do that myself.

In relation to his point regarding stopping banks exiting, he might just help me with this. What policy tool would he propose I use if a large employer and a large investor in our country decides they want to go? If those policy tools are there, which they are not, but if he could come up with them and wants me to implement them, how does he think keeping an employer against their will in our economy would help our argument to get more companies in?
