I thank the Deputy. That was a good point. I recall the taxation issue from the days when I was paying the tax in three-month bursts.

I might ask a couple of questions before I invite members to ask some concluding questions. We have covered the issue of the tightening labour market quite well and I do not want to revisit much of that. The Minister mentioned the idea of ensuring visas are working well. In his and my constituency, a large number of people have stamp 3 visas, which make it very difficult to work even for those who may be very willing to do so. That area might be worth examining. In light of that labour market issue, in a climate with that level of inflation and the cost of living increases, we are probably facing increases in public sector pay and in pay more generally, but that does not seem to have been budgeted or mentioned much in the SPU. Would the Minister like to comment on what that issue will look like?
