Something that I would like to address later this year is one of the things that we need to think through. If we keep on looking at how we drive economic growth sector by sector, and do not have a holistic appreciation of what that is, then we will get to a point where we will begin to hit pressures and contradictions even sooner than we should. If we keep on considering ways to drive employment purely on the basis of what is happening in a particular policy area, or a particular sector of the economy, we are going to get to a point where that begins to conflict with other things we want to do in other parts of our economy. If we get to that point later in the year, and I believe we will have more people in work than we have ever had before, maybe that might be an appropriate point to kick off that debate.
