That is the bit that puzzles me. While accepting the Minister's remarks as to the role of economists, I return to a point I have often made here, which is that the criticism of previous times was that we did not listen to advice that was given. This is advice that has been given by fairly senior people. The Minister talks about clarity and the new British Prime Minister but I wonder should he put his eggs in that basket.
