The reason is we did the summer economic statement last night. The statements were prepared today; all of the statements the Deputies have are completely consistent with the public information made available yesterday. The figures and narrative are the same. I accept that Deputies could and should get it earlier but the document prepared last night and made public and the statements are entirely consistent with what we already communicated yesterday. I accept in the time ahead we should try to get statements to the committee a few hours beforehand, as we normally do when we appear at this committee.
