I have little doubt that if our package contained no broad measures at all, we would be criticised for that. What we are trying to do is get the package overall right. As the Minister for Finance just said, the package needs to reflect the fact that inflation is now a lot lower last year than it was this year. As a result, the scale of the package must and should be smaller. We are trying, in engagement with party leaders and other Ministers, is get the mix right regarding what the measure should be. We are doing that at the moment and working to aim to do that.
