The Deputy raised the issue of the competitiveness agenda, which is key to the work that has been ongoing in the Cabinet sub-committee dealing with economic recovery, where my Department, as the lead Department, has ensured we have reduced our electricity and gas costs, which are a major issue, and reduced the regulatory burden on businesses. All of that work has been achieved.
