As I said to the Deputy, there is a report coming, and I will publish that report as soon as I receive it. This Government has not been found wanting. We had a set of two cost-of-living payments last year and we have a cost-of-living payment this year. Prior to that, we had Covid. We supported people with the PUP. We have a good track record in supporting people and improving people's incomes. Everybody wants to talk about what will happen down the road, but let us stay in the present for the minute. This is a progressive budget that will put money in people's pockets when they need it.
