Mr. Robert Watt:
The measures we have taken since 2009, as the Deputy can see from the figures I have provided this morning, have a major impact on the sustainability of public sector pensions. It is very sensitive to assumption on future policy. It is within our capacity to control some of the implications of these demographics depending on what decisions are taken.
