It would be interesting for the committee to hear whether the Minister's view is the same now as it was. Previously, the Minister informed these Houses as follows: "I should point out that it was never intended that the USC would be a temporary measure." Is that still the Minister's view or has he changed his view? The Minister is entitled to change it.
