I am just asking my officials to check. I am being told that my budget day speech referred to newspapers. Then, when we went to check this, because the issue was raised with us afterwards, we found that I would not be able to split out news periodicals from other periodicals. That would mean having to reduce the VAT on all periodicals to zero.

I will need to triple-check the exact detail of my budget day speech, but based on what my officials here have informed me, I am pretty sure we said newspapers.
