The Deputy referred to energy supports. Electricity is energy and people have had four electricity credits. We also cut excise on transport fuels, which we will discuss presently. That went to every owner of a vehicle that uses fossil fuels. We also reduced the VAT on electricity. Those changes have been made. It is not possible to have a perfect response such that every single group has a bespoke measure just for it. We have come forward with a very strong cost-of-living package in the past couple of budgets and again since the most recent budget. We cannot address every micro-issue that is raised, albeit it might be an important issue.
