Mr. Des Carville:
That is a really interesting question, and it is something we grapple with all the time because our job is to maximise the return. I would remind the Chairman that the losses the banks made were also jaw-dropping, so these institutions can be cyclical and we are very conscious of that at the back of our minds.
